You'll need to store the content of all your HTML pages in a database and index them by keywords and such. Then, when the user does a search, pull out URLs based on the keywords typed in by the user.

 

It's not a simple system to implement.

 

If you just want to search for words on the same page, you might as well let the browser do the work, people can press Control+F to find things.

Usually the website content along with html is stored in a database, you then use the inputed search criteria to search the database fields that hold the content you wish to search for this specific input search critera string value, usually using SQL 'LIKE %'.$search_string.'%'.
