The lawsuit is being touted as one of the biggest challenges facing US regulators this year. After more than a year of intensive investigation and monitoring by the regulatory body, the tech giant is facing such a case.

The lawsuit, filed in federal court, has been filed by the U.S. Department of Justice and 11 other states. In the case, it is alleged that Google spends billions of dollars each year installing search engine browsers and mobile phones as default options.

Officials say the spending has helped secure Google's position as a "gatekeeper" on the Internet, giving distribution channel owners their own control over about 70% of search queries in the United States.

Google, meanwhile, called Tuesday's lawsuit "deeply flawed."

They claim that by competing fiercely, they are at the forefront of customer choice. People use Google because they like it or they can't find alternatives.
