iPhone Programming - Making a Google Search bar

Antoher tutorial in my UIWebview Playlist. In this tutorial you will learn how to make a search bar search Google rather than load a website. It can be really usefull.

Main Code Used:
-(IBAction)Googlesearch:(id)sender {
NSString *query = [googleBar.text stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString:@" " withString:@"+"];
NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=%@", query]];
NSURLRequest *request = [NSURLRequest requestWithURL:url];
[webView loadRequest:request];
}

It doesnt work like there is nothing wrong with the code but the search doesnt load up in my browser

[MilmersXcode]

@xcoder4you This is only for iOS applications. It won't work if your trying it on the computer. Unless that's not what you meant?

Have you connected the webView connections.

I used your code and it works like charm. Thank you for the great tutorial series. One question I have is how to operate the auto rotation properly. I tried to change the rotation but the top bar does not show on horizontal view. Any idea how to write the code that when auto rotation is enabled the search bar and goole bar would appear as well? By the way I am new to programing with Xcode and appreciate being schooled.:)

Thanks a million for your help

P.s you can use my E Mail Adrian_Philli

@MrAmp76 You might be surprised to know that there is no code needed. It's because of the way your interface is anchored. In IB select your top bar and go to the size attributes tab. There you will see a little box with red lines. Simply make all the lines red by clicking them. This will make your tab bar stay in the same place relative to everything else when the screen rotates.

Hope this helps and if it doesn't feel free to ask for more help :D
