Form addition

I have been playing around with this working code:

<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">

</script>
<form name="search">
<input type="text" name="query" value="">
<input type="submit" value="Search Google" onClick="search_google()">
</form>

If I type for example 'feet' into the form it produces the query string http://www.google.com/search?q=feet which is fine but ....

I would like to modify the script to produce a query string like this http://www.google.com/search?q=feet+site%3Amyfootshop.com with the additional text provided by a hardcoded variable such as additionaltext=+site%3Amyfootshop.com

I know it must be quite easy but I am new to JavaScript.

Thank you for any help.

PHP would be better for this as it has a url_encode function. Why the need for javascript? Can you not run php on your server?

Javascript does too.

encodeURIComponent("feet and hands")

How would I use the encodeURIComponent to concatenate the form input with a variable as above?

Thanks.
