    "Google-Fu" is merely being able to find things quickly and easily, particularly difficult things, on Google. And the "-fu" comes from "Kung Fu"; the "google-fu" phrase is sort of an outgrowing of the whole usage of "ninja" to mean "someone who is hyper-competent".

    Just an addition to the excellent explanation above, Google-Fu is also like an assessment of one's level of skill in finding a necessary information needed using Google search engine. However, these information are usually worthless.

    "Google-Fu" is the uncanny ability to hit on the right combinations of words & phrases to make Google a half-remembered webpage that you saw once back in 2002. Usually, it involves multiple iterations of the search.
