I consistently opt for "baduk" over "go," since searching for Go is
absolutely worthless. If that's not an option, "go board game" is my
favorite, but still fairly worthless. I might also use "igo," as the
complete Japanese name, but again, it's not too helpful, though much better
off than Go. If I'm looking for a specific item, ie, goban, tesuji, joseki,
etc., I will always use those over Go, since I'm much more likely to get
results.

Still, unless people start using the term baduk consistently, there's really
not an efficient way that I know of to search for Go on the internet.

It might be a wise idea to start promoting the name baduk, since it has the
fewest false positives of any of the names I know of.  Just a thought there.
