I think I give up on explaining the entire sentences, though. I wrote a really, really long answer. Then I edited it down mercilessly

But in the end, I think I have to edit it down to nothing.

@snailboat: well, there's the old saying "in dubio, pro reo" (when in doubt, judge in favour of the mischiefer). Besides, since I did not wrote "I googled" but "A search on Google", at least is should have been clear which search engine I used!

@mau Oh, I think that was clear, yes :-)

I'm actually really intrigued by the idea that some people use the word to google to refer to searching on sites other than Google.

I first heard that back in 2005

But I think most people assume that to google is equivalent to to search on Google

So I think that regardless of which way you'd written it, that would have been clear enough :-)

But I don't mean to judge, whether in favor or against. I'm just interested in language, and I wanted to give my personal interpretation of what those words meant.

After all, even if a reader isn't sure, the problem is easily solved by asking :-)
