Google hates this. IF "to google" becomes so generic that it means "to search" and not "to use google search engine" Google will lose its rights to the name. Think "thermos" the original company invented the name thermos, but it became generic, so now anyone can use the word thermos on there product.

It is true...many words were added to the dictionary recently...
Yahoo isn't one yet that I have heard...
actually the true definition is:
Main Entry: goo·gle
Pronunciation: 'gü-g&l
Function: transitive verb
Inflected Form(s): goo·gled; goo·gling /-g(&-) li[ng]/
Usage: often capitalized
Etymology: Google, trademark for a search engine
: to use the Google search engine to obtain information about (as a person) on the World Wide Web

As far as I know, 'to google' is already a verb in the English language! Get googling!
