Hey,
I am programming a little tabbed Webbrowser in Visual Basic. Can someone please help me with a Google Search with suggestions like in Chrome or Firefox?

Google search in browsers is usually nothing but loading appropriate Google page and letting the user use it.

In principle, you can hide the page, show your own controls for search options, generate your own HTTP request using System.Net.HttpWebRequest, http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.net.httpwebrequest.aspx[^], get HTTP response from Google and even format it in your way. But why? In my opinion, just showing the Google search page is the safest; this way, you won't depend on any changes Google may make.

This is interesting suggestion because of 2 reasons:
1) OP does not need to do anything (this is the answer for WHY question),
2) OP does not need to do anything (this is the answer for HOW question).

Thanks for this Suggestion. Should I Read Out The results with regex?

Sergey Alexandrovich Kryukov 9-Jul-13 22:00pm

Why Regex? You already got the search results, just show them?
By the way, these days Google search supports Regex in search, to certain extent...
