Here it is:

import android.app.SearchManager;

// ...

Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_WEB_SEARCH);  
intent.putExtra(SearchManager.QUERY, "Search query");    
startActivity(intent);

Voice-based search:

import android.speech.RecognizerIntent;

// ...

Intent sp = new Intent(RecognizerIntent.ACTION_WEB_SEARCH);
sp.putExtra(RecognizerIntent.EXTRA_LANGUAGE_MODEL, RecognizerIntent.LANGUAGE_MODEL_FREE_FORM);
sp.putExtra(RecognizerIntent.EXTRA_PROMPT, "Speak please");
startActivity(sp);
