That is the definition of a monopoly. The real question for the courts is if they are using that power in an anti-competitive way.
It's the definition of anti-competitive practices; not of a monopoly. They aren't the only search engine to exist. They don't have exclusive control of the market. That's why they resort to anti-competitive practices in the first place.
Not saying your reply is wrong, but the FTC does define monopolistic practices differently for the purposes of antitrust cases.
