The judge's order in the Google antitrust case was a huge letdown for travel businesses that have tried to force changes to the way Google displays travel search results.

Google will not be forced to break up its search business, but a federal judge has tentatively ordered other changes to the tech giant’s business practices to keep it from further anticompetitive behavior.
