    There isn't really much to it. You have a regular form, with a search field and the submit button.

    - Upon submitting, you use $_GET[] or $_POST[] (whichever you're using) to get the value of the submitted search box
    - Sanitize the input
    - Query database using LIKE instead of =
    - Show results

    The database query may look like..

    SELECT * from `users` WHERE `name` LIKE '%$search_string%'
    Code (markup):
