Worth saying, sometimes there’s nothing to google, or googling wouldn’t yield a significant answer - perhaps the issue lies in some module of fairly home grown code.

Sure that happens, but you probably have access to internal documentation, a compiler, a REPL--something.
The issue with not being able to Google isn't Google specifically, it's the lack of all the tools you use to solve real problems.
Google, or any other reference, is the hard drive, and the skill you have in your noggin is the cache. You wouldn't want to buy a machine that's all hard drive and no cache.
