Haven't actually tried to use it as a search, but a "manual" google search
results in a command line that looks like this, "http://www.google.com/search?
hl=en&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&q=eastern+bluebird". Opening a browser and typing
this: "http://www.google.com/search?q=eastern+bluebird" also yields the search.

So, you would need to change the URL. And change the "f=<search>"
to "q=<search>".

That should work.
