You cannot use keywords in variable definition block (*** Variables ***).

Instead, populate random variables either inside your keyword:

*** Keywords ***
Google Input Random String
    ${RandomString}=         Generate Random String    10    [LETTERS]
    Open Browser    ${URL}      ${Browser}
    Input Text      //*[@id='lst-ib']   ${RandomString}
    Close Browser

Or as a part of the test case:

*** Test Cases ***
Google Random String Search
    ${RandomString}=         Generate Random String    10    [LETTERS]
    Google Input  ${RandomString}

You can also use setups.
