I take that to mean that they're searchers, not researchers. I.e., "Googlers" here means they use Google to search for answers, not that they're Google employees.

In this context, Googlers does in fact mean Google employees. The context from the surrounding talk[1] talks about Google's use cases such as concurrency being a key part of the language, etc.

Inside of Google the term 'Googler' unambiguously refers to co-workers; not to people who just happen to use Google products. (Source: I used to work there.)
