Google Search
Online information lookup
Google Search is the dominant internet search engine, used so universally that "google" has become a verb meaning to search online.
Users enter queries and receive ranked results from across the web: Just Google Search it, I found the recipe through Google Search.
The service has expanded to include images, news, maps, and specialized searches. (Lowercase google is the verb.)
