Why not just pass the search text to a query and return the result?
For example, you would pass the search String to some persistence layer (JDBC, JPA etc.) and use the correct query syntax for that layer.
A more flexible yet more complicated approach would be to use a search engine like Lucene and create a search index for your database.
