Probably the most common one used across the planet is "Googling".

Actually, "Googling" is probably one of the more valid ones. How many people Google something, using a different search engine like Bing? ;)
I still feel like that sounds a bit odd, but maybe that's because I started using the internet in 1995, several years before Google existed.
I still often like to say "searching" or "online search" etc. because Google isn't the only search engine around. It seems people sometimes forget there are other search engines out there.
I sort don't use "Googling" either. Likely because I to remember when they would print Internet Yellow Pages of sorts. Not to mention I remember using tings like Yahoo and Altavista to do searches.
As a side note, I'm not sure why people started to say "Interwebs". I always think it makes the person sound dumb. I know that most people think of websites as the Internet but there is still a whole lot more out there that's not part of a website.

In the 90s I also used to use Yahoo and Altavista, as well as
SavvySearch, Lycos, sometimes Ask Jeeves and others.

"I sort don't"?
"I to remember"?
It's a joke. It's not that people are being dumb. I don't remember
where it came from, but I remember people starting to say "interwebs" as
a sort of joke term.
