When it comes to searching for stuff on the internet you typically read posts like :
Noob: "I can't find anything about x/y/z on t'internet?"
Regular: "Have you tried googling it?"
That sort of synonymous referal to Google will be hard for any company to break. I cannot imagine people going around saying,
"Hey, I found out details on that formula by Cuiling it(!)"
Google = Search engine. Much like how people say Sellotape instead of sticky tape and Hoover instead of Vacuum cleaner. Both being the actual company name rather than the product in question
> Other contenders include Teoma, Vivisimo, Snap, Mahalo and Powerset
Never heard of them. Enough said!
