What's more, some justices questioned the very idea that Google users were harmed when the company turned over their search terms to third parties without their consent.

The case has the potential to upend an unusual form of settlement that some tech companies -- and other companies too -- have signed onto in order to resolve legal claims against them. Called a "cy pres" award, this type of settlement goes to charitable organizations that submit proposals to address problems identified in the lawsuit.
