use ajax object like

C#

xmlhttp.open("Get","https://www.google.com/maps/preview?q="+placename,true)
xmlhttp.send(null)
 xmlhttp.onreadystatechange = function () {
                    if (xmlhttp1.readyState == 4 ||xmlhttp.Status="ok") {
                           var x = xmlhttp.responseText;
                            document.getElementById("iframe").innerHTML=x;
                              }
                         }

No need of api and all other details related to javascript

You can try GeoCoding API which converts searched addresses into Latitude and Longitude which ca be used to display the Marks in Google Maps. Check the link .

https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/geocoding/[^]

Also Refer the below links on how to use the latitude and longitude to marked in google maps.
