I am trying to write a batch script that starts a google search for e.g "Sun Moon Lake" in double quotes. However, the double quotes are not appearing.

My script is as follows :

@echo off
start https://www.google.com/search?q="Sun+moon+lake"

Search bar not showing double quotes

Thanks!

    Try `start "Window Title" https...` `start` assumes the first `"quoted string"` in the parameters is a window-title. – Magoo Feb 05 '21 at 03:16

    I would suggest, from a batch-file: `@Start "" "https://www.google.com/search?q=%%22Sun+moon+lake%%22"`, or from cmd: `Start "" "https://www.google.com/search?q=%22Sun+moon+lake%22"` – Compo Feb 05 '21 at 11:24

The above works fine and I want to put a closure to this question.
