Search MySQL Database

Hey, I have put together an iPhone web app and i'm currently reading and displaying data from a MySQL database. I have added a search bar to this page and was wondering what the best way would be to search the content on the page.

The best way to do this would be via AJAX. When you click "Search", make an AJAX call with the supplied search string to a PHP page. The PHP page will then take that string and make a MySQL call that will return the data set. The PHP can then return the dataset back to your HTML page.
