I think the key takeaway here is not just being the quickest to Google, but the quickest to google well.
It's so frustrating to see people trying to google a problem, but fumbling with a poorly written query and/or focus on the wrong search result hit snippets.
You could probably tell a lot about a candidate by how they Google for things. To effectively search, you have to effectively define the problem. Often that means having the understanding to redefine your specific problem into a more generic one that you can search for. Ineffective searchers will struggle to do that, or worse, simply throw words into the search bar and expect a magical answer.
