give me a button that searches the internet for the results based on user input in swift

You can create a UIButton that when pressed, opens a default web browser and searches for a specified term on a search engine website. This can be done using the following steps:

Create a UIButton and add it to your view


main.swift
let searchButton = UIButton(type: .system)
searchButton.frame = CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: 120, height: 30)
searchButton.center = view.center
searchButton.setTitle("Search", for: .normal)
view.addSubview(searchButton)
217 chars
6 lines

Implement a touch-up-inside event on the UIButton, so that when the user taps on the button, a search is performed


main.swift
searchButton.addTarget(self, action: #selector(searchPressed), for: .touchUpInside)
84 chars
2 lines

Define the searchPressed function to create a URL based on user input and open it in a web browser


main.swift
@objc func searchPressed() {
  // Get user input
  let userInput = /* fetch user input */

  // Create search URL
  let urlString = "https://www.google.com/search?q=\(userInput)"

  // Open URL in web browser
  if let url = URL(string: urlString) {
    UIApplication.shared.open(url)
  }
}
290 chars
13 lines

This will create a search button that opens a google search in the user's default web browser based on their input.
