Googltian
Pronunciation: /ˈɡu ɡəltiən/
Sound: GOO-gul-tee-un
Part of speech: noun

Definition:
A person who researches, assembles, and reports information mainly through online search engines such as Google, without fully verifying, classifying, or separating reliable facts from false, fake, weak, or non-academic information.

Extended meaning:
A Googltian is a directive online researcher or information assembler who gathers search-engine results and presents them as a report, argument, comment, or debate position. The term often describes someone who depends mostly on internet search results rather than academic sources, expert verification, primary documents, or proven factual classification.

Origin:
Formed from “Google” + “-tian,” suggesting a person shaped by or devoted to search-engine-based information gathering.

Related idea:
A Googltian is not necessarily a professional researcher. The word describes a person who collects online information and turns it into a report or argument without deep source verification.
Example sentence:
“He spoke confidently in the debate, but his argument sounded like a Googltian report because it was based only on online search results, not verified academic evidence.”

Another example:
“A Googltian can collect many links quickly, but may fail to recognize which sources are false, biased, fake, or unsupported.”

Googlemancy 

In RPGs , magic such as Necromancy (controlling the dead) and Pyromancy (manipulating fire) are often skills that can be leveled up. As such, Googlemancy is the power to manipulate Google to find what you're looking for. Often used in work places, where an old and senile boss will aproach an underling to find some information for him, due to the latter's higher level of Googlemancy.
Mr O'Toole had to ask Kevin, the postroom boy to find the porn he was looking for, due to Kevin's insane Googlemancy skills
