    Say what you will, but using "google" is just the fastest way to say "search the web." Unless a better, equally convenient phrase comes along, it’s not going anywhere anytime soon.

      If you read the page, it suggests "to look up" instead of "to google", which looks like the same amount of syllables.

          To web-search works perfectly well. "I web-searched it". This is what I use.
