Who really cares if they are looking up the answer on the internet. The idea is to see how they would approach /solve a particular problem/solution. If they look it up on the internet and get it right, why not. Nobody has all the answers in their head but we all need the ability to quickly find the relevant technical information. The inherent difficulty with a phone interview is trying to assess how the potential employee would apply the response they gave back.

One should care because it goes to integrity.

If you don't know an answer, don't lie by giving the impression you do know the answer (hence looking it up on the internet). Just admit you don't know the answer. And then at least tell them you know how to find the answer.

If you cheat on a test, where else will you cheat while doing your job? How well can you be trusted to handle the confidential HR data or client personal data?
