NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) - Google has expressed concerns about competition from Microsoft in the Web search business in recent talks with the Justice Department and the European Commission, according to a published report.

The New York Times reports that Microsoft's new Internet browser includes a search box in the upper-right corner that is typically set up to send users to Microsoft's MSN search service. Google contends that this puts Microsoft in a position to unfairly grab Web traffic and advertising dollars from its competitors.
