Well, that was an easy one ;)

(defun search-word ()
(interactive)
(browse-url
(concat "http://foo.bar.foobar/index.php?search="

(read-from-minibuffer "Word: "))))

If you really want to store the value into a variable do this:

(defun search-word ()
"Search for a word in foo bar"
(interactive)
(let ((word (read-from-minibuffer "Word: ")))
(browse-url
(concat "http://foo.bar.foobar/index.php?search=" word))))

bye

(defun search-word (word)
(interactive "sWord: ")
(browse-url (concat "http://foo.bar.foobar/index.php?search=" word)))
