Add this to hooks.lua:

   function select_history_item_in_vim()
       local url
       local f
       local fn = elinks_home.."goto_url"

       os.execute("vim "..elinks_home.."globhist")

       f = io.open(fn, "r")
       if f then url = f:read() f:close() os.remove(fn) end

       if url then return "goto_url", url end
   end

Then add something like

   vimhist = select_history_item_in_vim,

to console_hook_functions (and make sure that you define
select_history_item_in_vim above that!) so that you enter 'vimhist' in
the Lua console, or add:

   bind_key("main", "Ctrl-v", select_history_item_in_vim)

to hooks.lua. Then you need to make VIM save the URL (and only the URL)
of the history item that you would like ELinks to load to
~/.elinks/goto_url. The above code automatically reads this file
and deletes it.

>  b) I want to have key to do goole search. That is, when you press this key, you will be presented with an input box. Whatever you enter will be automatically searched in google, and you will be put into the search results page.

Add this to hooks.lua:

   bind_key ("main", "Ctrl-g",
             function ()
                 xdialog("",
                        function (url)
                            return "goto_url",
                                   "http://google.com/search?q="..url
                        end)
             end)
