You can't. Database-related activities are performed on the server using a server-side language.

Search mechanisms aren't usually generic; they are specific to the content and schema. That said, the principle is typically the same.

That particular site appears to be using Java Server Pages (JSP).

On a point of pedancy: Java and JavaScript (and other ECMAScript derivatives) are completely unrelated. Furthermore, there's no such thing as 'java script(s)' or Javascripts, just like there aren't C++s.
