you need to add * before the argument you want to consume fully. basically, * collects all the positional arguments in a tuple. So the code will look like:

@bot.command(aliases=['a'])
async def on_message(ctx, *, messages):
  await ctx.send(messages)

Similarly, for second code, it will look like:

@bot.command(aliases=['google'])
async def on_message(ctx, *, message):
  googleinput = message
  pgoogleinput = googleinput.replace(" ", "+")
  await ctx.send("https://www.google.com/search?q="+pgoogleinput)

These are mentioned in the python documentation.

You can simply pass the message as a keyword-only arguments, thanks to this discord.py will parse all the arguments as one string

@bot.command(aliases=['google'])
async def on_message(ctx, *, message):
  googleinput = message
  pgoogleinput = googleinput.replace(" ", "+")
  await ctx.send("https://www.google.com/search?q="+pgoogleinput)
