You can check what the Android ZXing app does. The source for the Android client is in: ZXing Android client source code. For ISBN numbers, the source code for handling that is: Android ZXing app's ISBN Result Handler code

For product and book search, the Android code invokes these two functions from ResultHandler.java:

// Uses the mobile-specific version of Product Search, which is formatted for small screens.
final void openProductSearch(String upc) {
    Uri uri = Uri.parse("http://www.google." + LocaleManager.getProductSearchCountryTLD() +
        "/m/products?q=" + upc + "&source=zxing");
    launchIntent(new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, uri));
}

final void openBookSearch(String isbn) {
    Uri uri = Uri.parse("http://books.google." + LocaleManager.getBookSearchCountryTLD() +
        "/books?vid=isbn" + isbn);
    launchIntent(new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, uri));
}
