    Hello Mohd,

    Have you already coded the search function?

    You just need to insert HTML tags before and after the keyword.

    <strong><font color="red">JAVA</font></strong>

    If you post your code here then ill see if I can help add it.
    Please use [highlight=Java] code [/highlight] tags when posting your code.

                <c:forEach var="book1" items="${bookList}">
                <tr>
                    <td>
                        <c:url var="listThreadsUrl" value="BookDetailsServlet">
       <c:param name="id" value="${book1.id}"/>
      </c:url>
     
      <a href='<c:out value="${listThreadsUrl}"/>'>
            ${book1.title}
      </a>
                </tr> 
                </c:forEach>

    the keyword forward from jsp page to servlet to perform query and finaly to other jsp page
    and here display the result

    my result is " book1.title "

    if you search for Java
    may will find "Java How to Program"

    Java here should be different
