using swift

UIApplication.sharedApplication().openURL(NSURL(string: "http://www.google.com")!)

or swift 3.0

UIApplication.shared.openURL(URL(string: "http://google.com")!)

@interface ViewController : UIViewController<NSURLConnectionDelegate>
@property (strong, nonatomic) IBOutlet UIButton *okbutton;
@property (strong, nonatomic) IBOutlet UIButton *canel;
@property (strong, nonatomic) IBOutlet UITextField *textfiled;
- (IBAction)okButtonClick:(id)sender;

- (IBAction)CanelButton:(id)sender;



- (IBAction)okButtonClick:(id)sender {


    NSString *searchString = textfiled.text; // UItextField.text
    NSString *finalString = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"http://www.google.com/search?q=%@",searchString];

    [[UIApplication sharedApplication]openURL:[NSURL URLWithString:finalString]];

If you use interface builder :

Create a UITextView and not a UIButton, write the link as text to textview and select the links checkbox in the interface builder. It will become the link you want at run time.

Inside your IBAction method, include the line

[[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:[NSURL URLWithString:@"http://www.google.com"]];
