perhaps if you make it clear that it's okay to Google, then you might get a different outcome. it's highly common for candidates to assume that in an interview, it's not allowed or highly penalized to do so.
I've never googled something in an interview (typically for the face-to-face part I'm not at a computer so that would be difficult, and googling under pressure seems like a bad idea).
But I have told interviews that I don't know, but I'd google it if I needed to in a work situation, and that's always been received positively. I guess it depends on what they're asking about though. Some stuff you should know off the top of your head...
