~10 years ago I would say “google it” often. But now I don’t think I say that at all, and would say “search for it” or similar.
Just me? Do you say, or hear others say, “google it” in $current_year? Is it different for techies and normies?

Consistently. They even use the let me google it for you website, even though Google hasn’t looked like that for a while now.
I am particularly cautious with my words, so I’ll say search for it on the web and when talking about my own research, I’ll talk about what I was able to find via a simple websearch.
Sadly, fewer and fewer things are readily available via a simple websearch anymore, and I have to engage in sophisticated websearches in which I rotate keywords or key phrases and their synonyms.
