VB Search Client? - ShawnReynolds - 09-25-2014
I would like to make a search Client in VB 2010, but I am not sure how. I want to make it so that when someone selects a certain search engine, it will show the results in a WebBrowser component. I plan on having check boxes for each search engine, but I do not know how to get it to go to that specific page when the button is clicked and the search engine is selected.

Have you looked at the WebBrowser documentation through MSDN? There's lots of examples on how to use this class, and it's easy. The rest is just basic GUI fundamentals for checkbox and button events and actions. With searching, you can take a look at where the search string goes within the URL when navigating on Google and other search engines. This is also relatively easy.
