Any keyword can be searched using same intent, but by adding a query with the static url. Like this

 Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse("https://www.google.com/search?q=" + string));
 startActivity(intent);

@ user2223317.. Instead of using ACTION_WEB_SEARCH try to use ..ACTION_VIEW ...it will works... try to do the following code

`@Override
        public void onClick(View v)

        {
            // TODO Auto-generated method stub
             Editable searchText = ev.getText();
            Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW,Uri.parse("http://stackoverflow.com/"));
            intent.putExtra(SearchManager.QUERY, ev.getText().toString()); 

            startActivity(intent); `

and dnt forget to accept my answer..if it works...thanks...

In that case you need to write your own SearchManager. You can write one using one WebView which will take two paramas "SITE_TO_BE_SEARCH" and "QUERY".. Now all searches will be performed within your app, no need to launching external Browser App. Look for any WebView sample app, you will find many.
