Use more generic wording for searching the internet

The applet mode notice says something about "googling". More generic wording should be used.

I understand your intent, but personally I'm a fan of neologisms and that choice of verb does make the point really clearly. (AKA: You need to research this on your own, on the Internet, as there's a lot to explain).

That being said, it's an open source project so I don't think my view should necessarily be the final say on the matter. The line in question:

hb-appstore/resin/res/i18n/en-us.ini

Line 89 in 20b5760

listing.appletwarning = NOTICE: You are in Applet mode! Google "Switch Applet Mode" for more info.

(would also need to be changed for other language files).

The only reason the notice is there to begin with is because I think that many users have a poor understanding of what "Applet Mode" is, why it's needed, how to use it, etc. It's easy to avoid ever learning about how title mode works, and hbmenu/Atmosphere don't explain it.

But the notice is in such a small space that a short and unambiguous term feels necessary. Open to alternative phrasings or other opinions on this topic. It's also possible that HBAS could go the extra step and have a pop up that fully explains applet vs title override modes. (eg. "WARNING: You are in Applet mode. Tap here to learn more").

Google hates it when you do this and I think that's reason enough to keep it.

In all seriousness though: as long as the meaning is clear, I don't think it really matters if it says "google" or something more generic/verbose like "look up (on the internet)".

Obviously it's maybe not a great idea to somewhat tempt fate but I doubt Google is going to go after every single website/project on the internet because they used their trademark "incorrectly".

Maybe "Search for "Switch Applet Mode" on the internet" or "Search for "Switch Applet Mode" with your preferred search engine"?

I'm with vgmoose on this; I see no compelling reason to genericize the verb.
