What does GOOGLE mean in Scrabble?
verb
trademarkinformal
To search for information on the internet using a search engine, especially by typing a name or question into Google.
Google began strictly as the name of a particular search engine, but within a few years people started using the lowercase verb to google for any quick internet search, whether or not Google itself was the tool used. Major dictionaries added the verb in the mid-2000s once this generic use became firmly established in everyday speech. People commonly say they will google a restaurant, a stranger's name, or a symptom before a doctor's visit, treating the act of searching as routine as looking something up in a book once was. Like earlier trademarks such as xerox that slipped into everyday verbs, google shows how a brand name can become an ordinary word for the activity it made popular.
How GOOGLE is used
Very common in casual speech and writing for any quick internet search, regardless of which search engine is actually used.
- I'll just google the restaurant's opening hours.
- She googled her old classmate's name out of curiosity.
- He googled the symptoms before calling the doctor.
