I see your point, but I’ll argue that yes, crowdsourcing is the appropriate term.
Google may be the collective brain of the entire planet, but it will give you only those results you search for. The entire idea here is that you utilize things you can’t possibly think of yourself—which includes “which terms should I put into the Google search.”

In real life, you can only ask the people who you’re already friends with. That means you’ll probably share common biases.
Unless you asked strangers. That might be a good way to fix this.
