If it's something fairly simple to google:

import webbrowser
a = input("What to google? ")

webbrowser.open('https://www.google.com/search?q={}'.format('+'.join(a.split())))

OR

import webbrowser
a = input("What to google? ")

webbrowser.open('https://www.google.com/search?q={}'.format(a.replace(' ', '+')))

For searching in google, let's say we want to search 'python program for windows'.

The url will be https://www.google.com/search?q=python+program+for+windows. This shows that the space should be replaced with +

Here's the code:

import os
def google(a):
    d = "https://google.com/search?q="
    a = a.replace(' ','+')
    os.system("start " + d + a)

a = input("what to google? ")
google(a)
print(a + " googled...")

@BartholoMew: you didn't specify that you're on Windows and Questions/Answers should be useful for other users in the future too. IMO the answer by RMRiver is much more useful *and* shorter. – Joachim Sauer Apr 30 '21 at 14:03
