Other replies have suggested how you could do it by building the request 
yourself. Another approach is to interact directly with the form using 
mechanize:

Unfortunately this doesn't appear to actually work with Google, as its 
robots.txt won't allow it. But if you're dealing with an intranet-based 
form in your organisation you should be fine.
