Now "google" is a common enough word for generic online searches that the sentence "I googled 'australian licorice' using DuckDuckGo's image search" doesn't sound weird to me.
See definition 2, under the transitive verb form of the second etymology: https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/google#English https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/google#English
- buzzerbetrayed 7y agoThat still sounds weird to me. I obviously understand what you mean, but I still don't like the idea of saying "I googled x on DuckDuckGo".
