How to put a search button in my website?

I have many movie reviews, and I was wondering how I can put a search box where they type in the name and it shows them the page. I use xhtml / dreamweaver.

One way to do this is by simply using a third party search provider to do the search for you. Google and Yahoo! do already index your content, so all you have to do is to create a form with an input field that links to a search limited to your domain. For example, this form searches inside answers.yahoo.com :

and here is the same form if you want to search your page with yahoo search:

If you want to index the content yourself, you should take a look at lucene ( http://lucene.apache.org/java/docs/ ), an open source platform that allows you to create and search indices for arbitrary contents.
