Could you expound more about your post? I don't quite get your question? Do you mean that your system can be hacked when you use a search command?

I dont think it is possible unless you make search at a search engine owned by hacker. To be safe from this you should use a proxy to hide your real IP address.

I think he means he might click on a link when performing a search that will put spyware or adware on his computer. That is the price of using the internet and it is up to you to make sure your antvirus software is up to date and you scan daily for spyware and adware.

Using a search engine that is well made and not used from spammy sites can go along way to protecting you from the ".exe" bug.

I have never come across such kind of fraud activity. We can try this question with google admins - they must be having some answers.
