Make my search box work?

I'm creating a web browser and it has a search box and go button. Could you help me set this up? Is there also a way to use the html code search bar that you use on website?

This is my code:

     private void button4_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
     {
        string site;
        site = textBox1.Text;
        webBrowser1.Navigate(
             new Uri("http://m.bing.com/search?q=", UriKind.Absolute));

Bassed on your comments it goes to bing and searches nothing.

To fix this you need to populate the querystring parameter "q". This is really quite simple:

private void button4_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
    string site;
    site = textBox1.Text;
    webBrowser1.Navigate(
         new Uri("http://m.bing.com/search?q=" + site, UriKind.Absolute));

You could also use the String.Format function to get:

private void button4_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
    string site;
    site = textBox1.Text;
    webBrowser1.Navigate(
         new Uri(System.String.Format("http://m.bing.com/search?q={0}", site), UriKind.Absolute));

Either of these should work for you, my personal preference is the 2nd one.
