Thread marked solved.

Just a note - don't forgot to URL encode your input, otherwise spaces, and symbols may potentially screw with your query, like "Why are freedompeace & Mr. X so pro & awesome?", generating

Code:

http://www.google.com/search?q=Why are freedompeace & Mr. X so pro & awesome?

Go on, try that right now in your browser. Note that some browsers will automatically escape the spaces (" ") into %20 for you, like Chrome.

So, the correct method would be to use:

Code:

Process.Start("http://www.google.com/search?q=" & HttpUtility.UrlEncode(TextBox1.Text))

Just thought I'd clarify, HttpUtility is found in the System.Web namespace and though it appears to be referenced by default, to actually unleash this badboy, manually reference it so that you can access all the classes and methods.
