Your table is not in phpmyadmin, your table is in mysql. You should study more about select query

Muhammad i think you should look for "LIKE clause" and "WHERE clause", google it.

for example :

PHP

$q = strip_tags(trim($_GET['query']));
$sql = "SELECT id,name FROM customers WHERE name LIKE '%". $q ."%'"

This may help http://www.w3schools.com/sql/sql_like.asp[^]

If you are new to database driven web development, then first take a look at this CRUD with PHP and MySQLi using OOP Syntax[^].
Learn more about PHP MySQL Database[^]
For your question, you should be using either prepared statements or parameterized queries to prevent SQL-injection in PHP[^]
To use "Like" in the parameter,
prepare('SELECT * FROM tablename WHERE fieldname LIKE ?');
$stmt->bind_param('s', '%'.$searchkeyword.'%');
