If you want to return the results in a google results page it is easy <form action="https://www.google.com/search"> <input name="q"/> <input type="submit" value="search" /> </form>
If instead you want to send the query to your server, you want the server to ask google and return the results in JSON, than you want to process the results and embed them into the response page, in this case, you need the Google Search API.
