I think he means a search function inside his site. Google has one of those that you can plug into your site.

Otherwise, it's a more complicated issue and beyond the scope of a thread. Assuming your content is stored in a database, you'll do some querying with PHP (or whatever language you want) to look for matching words/patterns from the search input to the information in your database.

If your site is not in a database, I don't see the point as it must be a small site.

If your content is stored in a database, you might want to learn how to search in that.
Google can help you find several beginner guides for PHP and ASP.
