[ExI] time for a new word?

Neologisms seldom are a good idea, and
even more rarely stick. "Meme" is the
main one that did in recent memory.

A word is badly needed, methinks, for
"do a web search for". E.g., google
for "incompleteness math".

But "google" doesn't work since it's
not generic (and something else feels
wrong about it), and neither do

      (i) type for "math, incompleteness"

     (ii) search for "math, incompleteness"

    (iii) web lookup "math, incompleteness"

Does anyone have any better phrases, or
an idea?

What about coining a brand new word?

Also, is it possible that it would include
the concept of "for", e.g.,

      ________  "math, incompleteness"
