Googling or Googleing?
 
Which one is it? Does the e get dropped?

I think Googling...

I thought it was google, googling and googled.

By the rules of gerund (the actual name of those words that end in "-ing") formation:

If the word ends in one or more consonants, and then a single "e," you drop the "e", and add "ing."

You keep the "e" only if there's more than one of them (for example: "seeing")

So, "googling."

You should google it

Former English teacher here...

The "e" gets dropped, so it's "googling"...just as in--

noodle --> noodling
bugle --> bugling
poodle --> poodling

(okay, I made that last one up)
