Considering your HTML form, I don't know if it's the right thing to do, but 
here is the exact equivalent of your C++ code:

import sys
s = sys.stdin.readline()
search_word(s)

The method "readline" on an opened file object reads one line in the file, 
which, IIRC, is the same than doing "cin >>" in C++.

But considering what I know about HTML forms (but I've forgotten a lot...), 
you may get the string "searchword=<word>" instead of just the word you 
want...
