Googling is using the popular search engine
Google.com to look up someone's name in an effort to find out more about them. You might Google
your neighbor, your old college roommate, or someone you've recently met to see what information is
available about them on the Internet. Because Google has a ranking system, there is an
unsubstantiated belief that the more Google returns a person has, the more important they are.
To Google someone, enter their name enclosed by quotation marks in the Google search box like
this: "Person's name". If you Google yourself, it is called autoGoogling or egosurfing.
