    Not particularly, and while I admit this can seem hypocritical, the verb “to google” has just become a generic trademark.

    When someone says band-aid, or kleenex, or jello, I think of bandages, tissues, or gelatin desserts, not of a specific brand of these products. Same goes with “googled”, it just means “searched the web” now rather than specifically using Google.
