  • This should be close. I'm not on a rev machine so it's untested.

    void searchButtonClick(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
    {
        string searchString = textBlock1.Text;
        string searchBase = "http://www.bing.com/search?q=";
        URL searchURL = new URL(searchBase+searchString);
        myWebView.Navigate(searchURL);
    }

  • Here a suggestion:

    if you search for "cars" in google the url will be "https://www.google.com/#q=cars&safe=images

    so i would suggest to navigate your webview to this url:

    "https://www.google.com/#q=[YOUR-TEXT-FROM-THE-TEXTBOX]&safe=images
