Look it up
Google is a trademark of the California-based Internet search and advertising company.
Because of the dominance of Google in Internet searching, popular usage has turned google into a lower-case-g verb: I googled his name and learned that he had been sued for malpractice several times.
As a verb, google borrows syntactic patterns from search, being used as a regular transitive verb or followed by a prepositional phrase with for: I was googling for cookie recipes to find one that uses cream cheese.
When someone says the are looking for something on Google they are using Google as a search engine.
