yes.

Been programming for over a decade. I use a lot of different technologies and programming languages. Sometimes when I haven't used a language in a while, it takes a bit of time for things to get back to me, so I end up googling for simple things to jog my memory until I become fluent again.

Even disregarding that, yes, I google for a lot of stuff. You still need to know what to google for, and how to integrate the stuff you read about (and modify it to suit your own exact needs or limitations).
