Not really. Jeopardy is all about buzzer timing[0]. With Google search, you're always going to be slow on the buzzer. That's okay, though. The actual trivia is pretty easy. It's designed this way to be accessible to the average TV viewer.

Buzz then search. I think players tend to work this way too, buzzing as soon as they feel like they'll know the answer, but before they actually consciously have it.
