If someone just posts the code as you suggest, you won't understand it. If you're really a total newbie as you say, of course. Don't prevent people helping you.

I suggest you to use LinkButton.
Page1.aspx

XML

<div>
          <input type="text" id="txt1" runat="server" /> 
        <asp:LinkButton ID="LinkButton1" runat="server" onclick="LinkButton1_Click">Search</asp:LinkButton>
    </div>

C#

protected void LinkButton1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
   {
     if (!String.IsNullOrEmpty(txt1.Value))
        {
       Session["myvalue"] = txt1.value;
       Response.Redirect("Page2.aspx");
       }


   }

On Page2.aspx

C#

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
       object mypass;
         mypass = Session["myvalue"];
    }
