Perhaps I am in a minority because I am currently involved in research / academia, but I find I am using Google less and less as time goes on. This is not meant specifically to be a dig at Google, nor am I saying I go without; however, it really isn't as useful to me now as it was when I first started programming. The reason for this, I believe, is that I am less and less interested in the broad range of answers Google often returns. Sure, you can easily find an answer on StackOverflow as to why Visual Studio is giving you a LNKxxxx error at compile time, but this has limited utility (in my experience). As time has gone on, I find myself searching Github, API documentation / wiki's, and most importantly, my University library. I vastly prefer reading real code alongside documentation than to just get an answer. Sure, I memorize the easy things, like how to get the length of an array in Javascript or which library to import to access vector-fold in Scheme, and that's fine if you're able to do it (if you Google this information, you likely work with more than 3 languages per day or per week). Instead, I find myself searching for answers in 1) other implementations 2) documentation of that implementation, and 3) in the original work documenting the theory or concept (papers, journal articles, textbooks). Certainly, I think it's okay to Google something, or just search in general. But as time has gone on, the value of my University's library, as well as specific documentation and the availability of open-source implementations of most general purpose materials / paradigms has made my life infinitely easier (and hell, possible). While I value what's possible to find on today's search engines, often times dedicated resources really are the best way to go over the much more broad search engine Google provides. Note though, that despite this, I do realise that much of these "specialized resources" were discovered through Google, so perhaps I am in circles on this one.
