My mom started hating the Ai features. she's trying to make "duck duck going" a thing.

It's never gonna happen but applaud the effort lol

I've found myself naturally doing this as my disdain for Google grows. I also like the term "query".

Natural consequence of 1) google being shit, and 2) "looking something up" and similar phrases automatically meaning the internet. No one is going to assume the library anymore.

PLEASE keep calling it "googling it", even if you use other search engines. If enough of us do that, then Google can lose the copyright to their name

Yeah, I just say stuff like "Let me look it up"

yeah, most people just search on their phones and/or using their browser. they usually use whatever the default is and don't question it much.

it's moved off of Google sometimes, and when it hasn't it's not obviously labeled as Google. especially when they use siri or ok Google or any other newer interface for it.

Altavista crew!

I've started using "search it" or "kagi it" just to avoid using the term google. I can't even remember the last time I used Google on purpose and got useful results.

on one hand I want their trademark to be eroded but on the other hand I want them to be thought of less

I’ve been ducking for years never say that though. I use search or looked up.

At last.

I intentionally stopped using it. So. “I’m doing my part!”

The kids say "search that up"

batta bing it!

Mojeek search results remind of the old days

I fondly remember Beaucoup, mostly because of the boundless optimism necessary to assume Americans could spell Beaucoup.

I usually just say Bing It tbh. It's what my computer starts with, no reason to change it, you know? I miss Internet Explorer and Edge just feels different, Internet Explorer meant Internet kinda like AOL was the Internet for America if that makes sense.
