Lol it survived because Microsoft got dinged by antitrust and couldn’t enter the search business.
What they produced when they did enter it doesn't support this theory.

Oh not saying the Google product wasn’t great, but Microsoft entering would’ve hampered their growth. They basically owned all the browsers at the time

Microsoft didn't understand the importance of the web or web advertising at the time. In fact Scott Banister had the idea of the CPC ad while working at Microsoft. They didn't get it so he left for Idealab where they spawned Overture. Pretty sure Google still would have won.
