Westlaw has been around for years - long before the internet was on everyone's desk - if i remember correctly, it was a dialup service...
Paralegals and even legal secretaries tend to do most of the research and their hourly rate is a lot less than that of the attorney...
But in answer to your question, every lawyer i know bills for the actual hours spent - they don't overbill, so yes, the fee for time spent researching would drop...
