"Googling" is a subset of "querying" or "searching" I know I'm being pedantic, but it's just free advertisement when we use a name brand to describe something

"Googling" is a subset of "querying" or "searching" I know I'm being pedantic, but it's just free advertisement when we use a name brand to describe something instead of a brand-neutral word.
