~10 years ago I would say “google it” often. But now I don’t think I say that at all, and would say “search for it” or similar.

Just me? Do you say, or hear others say, “google it” in $current_year? Is it different for techies and normies?

      This is important I think. While the word has clearly stuck beyond the actual company’s services … the word “search” in IT hasn’t died and will likely still be used. If the word ever fades away, it may be in part because “search” lived.
