I have googled it. vs I have searched it on google.

Both of these phrases are correct; however, they're used in slightly different contexts. 'I have googled it' is commonly used to indicate that you've searched for something using the Google search engine specifically. On the other hand, 'I have searched it on Google' is a more general way of saying you've looked for something using Google as the platform.
