Use cmd prompt to search a word on google or other search engine

Question

I am trying to use a programming language to search google or another specified search engine. I would like to use windows cmd prompt to do so because the specified programming language has a simple command to access the cmd prompt.

Any ideas on how to search google from cmd prompt?

Answer 1

Simply type this on the command-line or in the run command and it will open your default browser to let Google search for SEARCHTERM:

start www.google.com/search?q=SEARCHTERM

Note that you have to replace whitespaces with pluses, e.g.

start www.google.com/search?q=Use+cmd+prompt+to+search+a+word+on+google+or+other+search+engine

Alternatively you could also put this command in a batch file:

@start www.google.com/search?q=%1+%2+%3+%4+%5+%6+%7+%8+%9
