Hi, today I am asking how would a search be implemented for a web form inside Visual Studios? For example, I am using Access Database & I want to search for "Chocolate" & it would give me a gridview of "Chocolate" products. Thanks.

You would need to use the SQL Select[^] statement to find records that match your search string. However, given that you say you are "cluelkess", maybe you do not actually have a databse set up yet. Try the Database articles section[^] for useful ideas.

What I wanted to do is to use something like this http://www.techonthenet.com/access/queries/parameter3.php

& show a textbox & button to search on the website & for the detailsview to show the items.

So what is your actual problem?

On how to put that parameter onto a Visual Studio Webform & replicating what is done in that article; except in a VS environment

You need to research the use of Autocomplete features in web forms. Again, there are plenty of references and articles that Google will find for you. Also remember that Visual Studio just provides a few extra tools to build your application; there is nothing to stop you from doing it the old fashioned way of writing the code.
