I am having trouble getting the users input in a search bar, and returning back information. I do not know where to start. The information being read is in an XML file. I have the search bar up and the user can type in it, I also have a button that can be clicked, however nothing happens when clicked. I do not know how to read the search bar info and display what the user is asking. Can anyone link me to any helpful websites or perhaps know a few things about how to do this. Thank you.
