Solution 2

Take the search input into a variable and execute select query on click on Search button.

eg. String input ="abc"; // or TextBox1.Text

Your query will look like :

C#

String SqlQuery = "Select * from TableName where firstName like '%"+ input + "%' or lastName like '%"+ input + "%' or Location like '%"+ input + "%'";
