If I search for something that I know I'll likely find on a "specialized" site, like your IMDB, etc examples, I'll go there. Most Linux-related stuff, I'll first try my luck on the Arch wiki.
But for general searches, I'll hit google.
A few months ago I was looking to buy a NVMe drive, so I hit google looking for product reviews, etc. I don't do this often enough, so even though I know some of the usual review sites by name, I don't usually think of going there right away.
I'm looking to set something up on windows at work. I'm not a windows guy, and it's not something very common, so my colleagues can't help. Windows docs are questionable on this subject. Hit google up looking for this and found some random blogs.
For tech searches, I often end up on either some stack exchange site or that product's forum. But not always, and I don't tend to look there in priority. I sometimes get reddit results, but I absolutely loathe the experience, so I try to avoid going there as much as possible.
To your point, I don't do it all day every day, but it's pretty much my go-to way of looking "new" stuff up.
