Q. What Google URLs should I use?
A. Sometimes you want to use a link to a Google search.
Here's how:
https://www.google.com/search?q=hello+world - Link to search results
https://www.google.com/webhp?q=hello+world - Get the user ready to begin a search
https://www.google.com/images?q=red+rose - Link to image search results
https://www.google.com/images?q=red+rose&tbs=vid:1 - Link to video search results
https://www.google.com/firefox - Search page for Firefox users
https://www.google.com/intl/en/ - Search English page that doesn't redirect to a country-specific

You can use this HTML has your personal start page:
<h2>Google Search</h2>
<form action=https://www.google.com/search>
<input type=text name=q>
<input type=submit value=Search>
</form>
Bing is almost the same:
<h2>Bing Search</h2>
<form action=https://www.bing.com/search>
<input type=text name=q>
<input type=submit value=Search>
</form>
