"Google shows its meaning when searched."

"Google shows its meaning when it is searched."

"Google shows its meaning when we search it."

Please check. Do these sentences mean same?

 

[Tarheel]

I have no idea if those sentences mean the same thing, because they make no sense to me.

We don't search Google. We use Google to search for things.

"Google shows the meaning of a word, when searched."

"Google shows the meaning of a word, when it is searched."

"Google shows the meaning of a word, when we search it."

Could you please tell me what is the way to correct the second part of my sentences, I mean the "when" part? Second part doesn't refer to google. It refers to the meaning of the word that is being searched.

If you Google a word, it will show you the definition.
You can get the definition of a word by Googling it.

Actually, Google has recently started showing word definitions in response to certain queries. Nevertheless, your version of Tufguy's text is better.

Yes, along with the meaning it also shows synonyms and it also tells you that what is the way to pronounce a word. It also shows where it was derived from.

So, do my sentences make sense (post# 3)? Or could you please show me the correct way to write these sentences?

"Nevertheless, your version of Tufguy's text is better." Sorry, I didn't get it.

I'd use Google shows definitions of words in its results.

I thought that Tarheel's corrected version of your text improved the text.
