I didn't even catch it. That's how much googling has become a part of the language. It's been Kleenexed.

Btw: A few years ago Microsoft paid for product placement in television series to counter "google it". It is amazingly awkward and sounds like from a strange parallel universe:

Hawaii Five 0 has cring worthy Microsoft ads throughout the entire show.

At this point, it's more like Microsoft's ad ground where shitty ads that didn't make it to youtube go to die.

It amuses me that they paid people to make their search engine look slow.

Not sure why you're being down voted. You are completely right. I've found multiple people using a search tool inside of an app and then call it "googling" instead of search.
