I don’t know why > [@tchind](#): > > s [google.com](http://google.com) is not opening in my laptop But you can do open link `"https://www.google.com/search?q=(your search words)` However, - The URL shouldn’t contain any spaces. Use a plus sign (+) in place of each space. - Certain characters can’t be used literally; they must be encoded using Percentage encode, into a form like `%nn`. For example, the query [“a song for you”] would be encoded in a URL as `http://www.google.com/search?q=%22a+song+for+you%22` , where each quote ( `"` ) is replaced by `%22`. Source: [Linking To Google Search Results - Google Guide](http://www.googleguide.com/linking.html) For encoding special character, please look at > **[W3Schools.com](https://www.w3schools.com/tags/ref_urlencode.ASP)** > > W3Schools offers free online tutorials, references and exercises in all the major languages of the web. Covering popular subjects like HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Python, SQL, Java, and many, many more. Convertor and reference are available there. ---
