i have even added a search feature to my database, soo i just basically want this little program to relay text to that search feature, then take me to it.. so i don't have to go to all these links and whatnot

Well,
it is quite hard to advice you anything without actually knowing about the file structure / database format. Maybe the easiest way would be to simply set up a search option online as a WAP2.0 page - if you don't want others to access this section, simply password protect it.

If you really have a need to generate the 'search string' offline (which I just can't understand since you want to be taken to your DB online) then simply use something which generates the search string for you.
For example you could have a "results.php" online which simply needs the search terms 'attached' in order to list you all relevant records. Now, the question remains how the database is structured. If you have 2 fields in your database, containing firstname and lastname, then it would be simple. You would need only something that adds your search terms to the string and then navigates to your server. For example you search for SMITH as lastname, it would have to transfer the string as followed:

www.mysite.com/results.php?lastname=smith

For sure your results.php needs to be programmed first! :D

However,
this has nothing to do with your device, you better join a programmer forum - in this case I would suggest you look for web development forums since this can be done entirely on the server side!
