[Vision2020] Question about Googling terminology

[Donovan Arnold]

OK, so does Googling mean, only using "Google"? Can you Google on  Yahoo, or Google by Mr. Jeeves, or does Googling, strictly mean using  Google?
 Like, take the word "Rubberband", a rubber band is still a  rubberband if it is not trademarked as a "Rubberband". Same with  "Q-Tip", we still call it a "Q-Tip" even if it is still not actually  branded as a "Q-Tip". 
  
 And another question, can Internet be  spelled with a little "i"? Some one needs to write an official rules of  the Internet book.
  
  Best,

  and get daily or weekly summaries of new hits. So, Ellen you could watch
  yourself weekly from now on.
  
  My sister, E Kirsten Peters, had a Google alert on me when she worked at the
  DNews. She'd send me items from time to time, about other Nils Petersons
