    in the search.php on your theme

    before the loop add

        <?php 
    
    add_action( 'posts_where', 'startswithaction' );
    function startswithaction( $sql ){
        global $wpdb;
        $startswith = get_query_var( 'startswith' );
    
        if( $startswith ){
            $sql .= $wpdb->prepare( " AND $wpdb->posts.post_title LIKE %s ", $startswith.'%' );
        }
    
        return $sql;
    }
    add_action( 'posts_where', 'startswithnumberaction' );
    function startswithnumberaction( $sql ){
        global $wpdb;
        $startswithnumber = get_query_var( 'startswithnumber' );
    
        if( $startswithnumber ){ 
            $sql .= $wpdb->prepare( " AND $wpdb->posts.post_title NOT REGEXP %s ", '^[[:alpha:]]' );
        }
    
        return $sql;
    }
    
    query_posts( $query_string .'&startswith='.$_GET['letter'].'&posts_per_page=-1&startswithnumber='.$_GET['number']);
    ?>
    
    </code>
    

    and then add your links

    echo "<a href='$PHP_Self/?$query_string&number=true' ># </a> - ";
    
    
        foreach (range('A', 'Z') as $i)
        {
         $letter =strtolower($i);
            echo "<a href='$PHP_Self/?$query_string&letter=$letter' >$i </a> - ";
        }
        echo "<a href='$PHP_Self/?$query_string' >All </a>
    

    like that when u click on any letter the search result will be filtered to the posts that only starts with this letter
