Interesting proposition though; can Google's search algorithm's ranking be construed as libel or something legal like that? Has anyone ever sued Google for lost business, and won?

The strongest case for lost business due to Google (it was Maps though, not search) that I'm aware of was: http://www.theguardian.com/technology/2014/jul/08/restaurant.... Unsure what the outcome was.

I do recall SEO/Ad spammers have sued Google, but they lost.
