                System.out.println(Input +  " not found ");
             }

    the program is not find the id
    Where is the id located? Where are the statements in the posted code that searches for the id?

    String Student [][] = {{"lol-0", "meow0", "superman0", "batman0"},
                {"lol-1", "meow1", "superman1", "batman1"},
                {"lol-2", "meow2", "superman2", "batman2"},
                {"lol-3", "meow3", "superman3", "batman3"},
                {"lol-4", "meow4", "superman4", "batman4"},
                {"lol-5", "meow5", "superman5", "batman5"}}

    the id is that "lol-0 to lol-5" and if the id is found the name and other elements for that line will be display

    e.g
    student id input : ol-1


    the student id is found so the program will display the other elements in that id
    name :meow1
    other 1:superman1
    other 2:batman1

    There are no statements in the posted code to do the search. What have you tried so far?

    Can you describe the steps the program must take to do the search?

    sir the program should ask the user to input the student id and search the student id that the user has been input, and for example if i input the lol-1 as a student id the line for that lol-1 should display the , meow0, superman0, batman0 not just a straight line that will post, but it will display like this

    student id : lol-1
    name :meow1
    other 1:superman1
    other 2:batman1

    you first learn how to search string from 2d array and then you fetch the other items depends on the searching string

    Do you need to use a 2-D array? Why not use a normal array for each record (read from a file perhaps)?

    What is a "normal" array? In the OP's 2 dim array, each row has related data that the OP wants to print depending on a match with the data in the first column.
    If you don't understand my answer, don't ignore it, ask a question.

    Start with a loop to go through the elements in the array.
    Look at the 2 dim array and see what indexes to use to access the element that you want to compare against.

    String  Student [][] = {{"lol-0", "meow0", "superman0", "batman0"},
                {"ID-1", "meow1", "superman1", "batman1"},
                {"ID-2", "meow2", "superman2", "batman2"},
                {"ID-3", "meow3", "superman3", "batman3"},
                {"ID-4", "meow4", "superman4", "batman4"},
                {"ID-5", "meow5", "superman5", "batman5"}};
     
     
            String input = JOptionPane.showInputDialog(null, "Input Here");
            int i;
            int j = 0;
            boolean foundIt = false;
     
        search:
            for (i = 0; i < Student.length; i++) {
                for (j = 0; j < Student[i].length;
                     j++) {
                    if ( Student[i][j] == null ? input == null : Student[i][j].equals(input)) {
                        foundIt = true;
                        break search;
                    }
                }
            }
     
            if (foundIt) {
                JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "Found the"
                        + "id  \n\n" + input);
     
            } else {
                JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, input + " ID NOT FOUND");
     
            }

    now , the program is can find the ID in the element, but my problem is how can i display the column that i search using the id?

    The use of labels in Java is generally discouraged if we can help it.

    If the program tries to find ID-4, we get the Student[3][0] {Student[i][j]} where 3 is the row and 0 is the column containing the ID number, then you just need to display the other elements of that particular row. We only have 0,1,2,3 to choose from and 0 is the ID number.

    Look at what is in the array. Each row has data for one student. One of the columns in the row has the student id.
    The search loop should look at the student id in each row. That can be done with a single loop.
    Pseudo code:
    begin loop through rows of array
    does this row have desired student id
    if yes, this row has desired data for printing
    move to next row
    end loop
    If you don't understand my answer, don't ignore it, ask a question.

    Look where your code writes "found it". That i value will be the row you need.

    The row where you found the correct ID is i. So now you just need to output the j's you want.

    Post the search code you are working on.

    The pseudo code I posted was a list of the steps the program could take to do the search. The search is done in a simple loop that looks at each row for the desired student id.

                        + " id  \n\n" + input + "\n" );
     
            } else {
