The short answer is that you would use a server side language like PHP. You would first get the value submitted from the form. Then validate it to make sure it was in the right format and was not an attempt to hack your site. Then use the value to fetch matching records from a database. And finally generate a HTML page with the values from the database in it.

However there are obviously a lot of details. I would recommend getting a PHP book with examples similar to what you want to do, or take a PHP class.
