To be fair it is possible to parse google as a noun in that sentence. It reads a bit like an item in an RPG.

Google Cone of Haste +3

> Google Cone of Haste +3

Parsing it as a verb, I followed your instructions and this comment is already the top hit for "Cone of Haste" on Google.

Ironically, this is somewhat related to the "grammar & writing style" debate raging in another thread on this very post. If the root poster had written:

    Google "Cone of Learning"
It would not have been so ambiguous!
Actually that's how I read it too - even though being told to "google" something is by no means new to me.

The google cone of haste, I like that.

Precisely.
