    <p>In your case you can simply add <code>WHERE</code> clause with pattern condition and receive desired effect quickly.</p> <pre><code>// basic SQL-injection protection $searchText = htmlspecialchars ($_POST['searchText']); // query with simple search criteria $query = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM persons WHERE FirstName LIKE '%" . $searchText . "%' ORDER by RAND() LIMIT $offset,$per_page"); </code></pre> <p>But this approache have several disadvatages:</p> <ol> <li>Your request is very slow (you will see it with more data in your DB) because you use <code>ORDER BY RAND()</code> construction which sorts randomly <strong>all</strong> entries in DB table and then returns small amount specified in your <code>LIMIT</code> clause; </li> <li>It is neseccary to reload page every time you want to search something. If you want to implement dynamic update of search results list you should use <code>AJAX</code> queries from Javascript.</li> </ol> <p>P.S.: Try not to use deprecated <code>mysql_</code> functions, use <code>PDO</code> or <code>mysqli</code> indstead (they provide built-in SQL-injection protection trough the prepared statments).</p> <p><strong>UPDATE:</strong></p> <p>Ok, you are already using AJAX.</p> <p>So you don't need form at all. Use 2 elements: text input and button.</p> <p>HTML:</p> <pre><code>&lt;input id="q" type='text' name='q' /&gt; &lt;input type="button" onClick="load(1)" value="Refresh"/&gt; </code></pre> <p>Javascript:</p> <pre><code>function load(page){ $("#loader").fadeIn('slow'); var searchText = $('#q').val(); $.ajax({ url: 'index.php?action=ajax&amp;page='+page+'&amp;q='+searchText, success: function(data){ $(".outer_div").html(data).fadeIn('slow'); $("#loader").fadeOut('slow'); } }); } </code></pre>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
