Google Inc., owner of the world’s most popular Internet search engine, may be the subject of an extended European Union investigation after three companies, including a Microsoft Corp. unit, filed antitrust complaints.

A U.K. price-comparison site called Foundem, a French legal search engine called Ejustice.fr and a Microsoft service called Ciao From Bing have filed competition complaints to the European Commission, Google said today in a blog posting. The EU said it hasn’t opened a formal probe in the case yet.
