I back up the fingerspelling, but, if the matter is in a sign for 
Google, I discussed it with my students and one of my Deaf friends and 
we agreed to sign Google as just SEARCH. We've chosen this sign because 
Google is just a searching program and some 95% Internet users use just 
this program for searching the web. This is the same situation like with 
other trademarks, like Walkman, Hoover etc. Walkman has become a 
walkman, and Hoover has become a hoover ;-). And in Poland we even use 
our own, colloquial word for Google: gugle, which is a plural nomitative 
and pronounced like [googleh] and inflected for case. And we have also a 
verb "guglać" - to google :-).
