Google search is one of the most used products on or off the internet with billions of people using it billions times a day. So no, it isn't dying. It's about as far from dying as any product can be.
There's a different question about the quality of the results and how that's changed over time.

I bet that non-digital cameras had their highest-ever sales numbers right before digital cameras hit the market. That's the problem with all "it won't die, it's more popular than ever" arguments.
