it is somehow a generic term. Even our "sheriffs of the German 
language (Duden, who publishes dictionaries for the German language, 
see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duden) has a verb for "to google" 
in it (see http://www.duden.de/rechtschreibung/googeln) ... ;) 
Though I am not sure, how the situation is in other countries ... :(

Here I am somehow at a loss, how I should interpret it, sorry ... :( 
What do you mean with the sentence "If I wrote something like that

bus"?
