Invoke Google Search via WSDL

I would like to click on a button in Filemaker and send text from a field to the Google Search WSDL-defined web service. I would expect the behavior to be similar to the "Open URL" action and open a window to show the results of the invocation.

OK this is not what I was specifically trying to do so my question still stands; however, I figured I would share this AppleScript code. This code is what I currently use as a FM Calculated Applescript to open a Google search page in the Safari (MacOS X) browser. The search query is comprised of text from fields in the database which are used as keywords.

"tell application" & ""Safari"" & ¶  &

"make new document at end of documents" & ¶ & 

"set URL of document 1 to "http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&c2coff=1&client=safari&rls=en&q=" & FooTO::BarData & "+" & FooTO::NeetData & "&btnG=Search"" & ¶ & 

"end tell"

So why not use the same URL in a Open URL script step?

The only tiny difference is that this will explicitly open Safari.
