the only thing Google can do to not face a suit

Well the only guaranteed way to not face a suit is to not exist.

They [Google] have the number one search engine, but they don't try to prevent other search engines from using their results ...
Not so sure about that. (I am opining based on less data than I would like so any solid info about this would be welcome.)

For a long time I was using the now defunct Scroogle search engine (click for a "thanks for the memories type page) which scraped Google's results. I got conflicting impressions about the extent to which Google helped or blocked them. Scroogle's (ex)operator is now blaming Google for Scoogle no longer being in operation. (see previous link) I am now mostly using Ixquick which is a "meta search engine" using the results from several search engines, including Google. It's sister site, Startpage is supposed to be purely Google results. But unklike Scrooge, my impression is Ixquick/Startpage has a commercial relationship withe Google for using its results. I wonder if the same isn't true for Dogpile.

So that's why they didn't seed their results to prove bing was trawling them?

I'm sure they difference here was that ms was trawling google's results and claiming them as their own as opposed to using google each and every time (and giving credit for if)
