I'm trying to make a small program that can acces the web, but i can't figure out how to make my 'search' button turn on the 'WebBrowser1' to Google then to search Google and to display results as if i had gone to google.com and typed in the search box there.
First off--Is this even possible
Second--Is it hard to do if it is--tell me and i'll mark this post as answered---I'm a noob!
If it's easy and possible, could yall give me a sample code
Thx.
PS~~~(this is added after i orriginally posted this) I think i'll make this simpler...how would i make this search button just access google.com

Yes, it's possible. You have a web browser control already, right Just do a few searches on google and look at the URL it generates. You can do the same by generating a URL that contains your search details.

OK - your core problem sounds like you're jumping way too far ahead. Try learning the language a bit before worrying about this sort of stuff.
1 - the web browser control is the thing you named, the thing you drag out onto the form
2 - the google URL after a search has the search details embedded in it. You can do the same, once you learn the format, which is pretty simple.
