This question is as broad as “I have a screwdriver; how do I fix my  
car?”

Ask more specific details; there’s blog after blog describing how to  
search, how  
to Ajax, how to use databases, etc…

I agree with Philip, however, as a first step, get search working  
_without_ AJAX or javascript of any kind. Once that is working, then  
you will be able to AJAXify it fairly easily…
