>It's rare to hear someone say "I Googled it on Bing" //

True AFAIK but if you ever give computer support you'll find people "just google it" and use the greeting page on their browser [aka "the internet"] which is just as often Bing or Yahoo as it is Google. Google, the verb, is definitely generic but the RTM holders of Google have several hundred million of $currency to spend on lawyers to say it isn't.
