How to launch a search engine for international market using Xamarin.Forms?

I am using Device.OpenUri and other methods to interact with Text Messaging, Emails, Telephone etc.

I also want to be able to open a search engine in a browser on whichever Xamarin.Forms supported platform my app is running on (Android, iOS, WinPhone, Windows).

Whilst Google may not be everybody's search engine of choice, one easy way of doing this to search for the postcode "EC1 2AP" would be to fire up the URL https://www.google.com/#q=EC1+2AP

However, this doesn't cope with the Chinese market, where Google is not available. I could just put some configuration in, so that people can specify which search engine to use, but I wondered if anybody knows of a method of firing up whatever search engine is available on a mobile device, without actually specifying the full URL?

Many thanks,

John H.
