Hi Xiomi Xing ,

Also begining in backend, so response might be incomplete but waiting for more in depth answers I would say that it depends on your working environment, framework used, SQL Vs noSql database...

Basically, i would suggest to make a GET request to the server, the values entered in the search bar will be params of that get request and from there, the server will handle the request with a code so that it looks through your database, find the requested file/info and render it.
