I'm making a real estate website using a template. It has the search section for users to be able to search properties available so how should it work? Like do i need a database? Because say the user wants a house in a specific area/town thats 2 bedroom and of specific price and they click search, the stuff that should pop up and show users the type of house they requested for is shown below like the options. I am very bad with explaining, but kindly try help me out for how i can go about this?

What I have tried:

I am using bootstrap, trying to understand how i will try to execute my problem. so far all i have is drop down menu from search area's for like town/area for users to search up, but on clicking search nothing happens.

Any type of search follows the same basic strategy. Start by deciding where you are going to get the data that needs to be searched. Will you do what Google does and search other websites, or will you create a database of information specific to your company? Once you have made that decision the actual implementation can begin.
