Something like this?
Menu:
<a href="yahoo.com/">Search</a>
<a href...> etc.

Input for the text to search:
Enter text to search:<input id="MyIn" type="text">
<button onclick="completeSearchURL()">Click me!</button>
...
A simple script that adds the text entered to the menu href's
<script>
function completeSearchURL(){
var text2add=document.getElementById("MyIn").value;
var aMenu=document.getElementsByTagname("a");
for(var j=0;j<aMenu.length;++j){aMenu[j].href=aMenu[j].href+text2add}
}
