I generate a URL to Google Maps from my website using localhost thus: "http://maps.google.com/maps/search/?api=1&query=address+city+state". But it generates an error on Google maps. However, I can copy this generated URL from the browser, paste it into my browser, and it works fine. Do I need a key or something more?

What I have tried:

I have tried various strings, all with the same result.

Did you display the google map inside your web page using iframe?
Or did you generate a URL link from your web page that points to the above URL?

I generate a URL link from my web page that points to the above URL. And I must click the link a second time to get the error. It says "Your client issued a request that was too large."

Can you post one of the URLs that are generated by the code?

You can just plug in any values for the items. Don't scrub the + in the string. I thought that I posted what worked. All I did is add a bit of javascript to redirect the postback to a new window. to fix the issue.
