    I found this page - google.vc . Its header is the same as google search page and it offers to use google products and uses google trends. This page is not the part of google, is it allowed to make sucha a connected website with same domain name as trademark, but just only write that you are not part of them ?

    If there isn't one the you can try :) , if they aren't taking any legal actions against this, yahoo will probably not do anything too.
