This is too much for a first assignment. It's about your 3rd (minimum)

For your 1st assignment, learn some static HTML.

You can do this for your 2nd assignment by writing a HTML <form> that
submits a query to Google, then Google returns its normal page. This
would be a good assignment


For the 3rd (which is quite adventurous) you can search Google itself
for some details on AJAX and Google's own toolkits for doing this.
It's _very_ complex stuff, but they do describe it well and you can
probably find suitable examples.

You don't need to write server-side code for this example, you can do
it with the very latest of client-side Web 2.0 coding techniques.
You'll learn a lot, but it does have disadvantages (won't work on
machines with JavaScript turned off).
