Website’s suit against Google is dismissed

Google Inc. won the dismissal of a website’s lawsuit that accused the company of securing a monopoly and defamation.

The lawsuit was the second effort by KinderStart.com, a Norwalk-based directory of links to child care products and services, to sue Google for eliminating it from an index of search results by assigning it a page rank of zero.
