Having done some work for a local credit union, I can tell you that yes people do actually do a google search for their bank to get to their online banking.

One item to consider is that a large portion of these people probably have google as their homepage, so they don't "go" to google, it's just he most conspicuous box when they fire up their browser.

Yeah, that's true. My inlaws though, they have Yahoo! set as their homepage, then go to google to get to a web address. I asked them why not just set it to google, and they said they liked having news and weather on the homepage to check out first. I tried to show them you can do that with google too, they just weren't going for it.
People hate change a lot more than they hate inefficiency!
