How to make a query to google?

Hi,
I'm new. And I'm new in Java network, too.

Now, I want to write a Java Application. Getting a WebPage from google.com is one of its functions.
For examples, I want to query with keyword "linux", so I use URL object, String url = "http://www.google.com/search?q=linux". But I couldn't do it. Exception was thrown at anytime!
Do you know how to get a query from google.com? Please show me the right way!
Could you understand my question? (because, I'm not good in English

).
Waiting for your reply, goodbye! Thank you very much.
tqmk.

Get hold of googleapi.jar and do something like :-

GoogleSearch s = new GoogleSearch();
s.setKey(clientKey);
s.setQueryString("linux");
try {
   GoogleSearchResult r = s.doSearch();
   System.out.println(r.toString());
}catch (GoogleSearchFault f) {
   System.out.println(f.toString());
}

You get a client key, the jar file and more examples at :-

Your English is fine.
