google in javascript

To run a Google search using JavaScript, you can either use the browser's built-in window.location to navigate to the Google search results page or use the fetch API to search the Google API programmatically.

Here's an example of how to use the window.location method:

index.tsx
const searchTerm = 'how to google in javascript';
const url = `https://www.google.com/search?q=${searchTerm}`;

window.location.href = url;
140 chars
5 lines

This will open a new tab in the browser with the search results for the specified query.

Alternatively, you can use the fetch method to programmatically search the Google API:

index.tsx
const searchTerm = 'how to google in javascript';
const url = `https://www.googleapis.com/customsearch/v1?key=YOUR_API_KEY&cx=YOUR_CX&q=${searchTerm}`;

fetch(url)
  .then(response => response.json())
  .then(data => {
    // handle the search results
    console.log(data);
  })
  .catch(error => console.error(error));

Note that you will need to obtain an API key and custom search engine ID from Google before using the fetch method.
