You need to be a little more specific. Because you could just convert the spreadsheet and visitors could search the page using CTRL-F, but I don't think that is what you want.

If you are talking about having some type of form in which visitor will enter search criteria and having only the relevant records returned, then you will need to do some programming. But the type of programming you would need to do would depend on the complexity and what is supported by your hosting company.

I would like to have a search box on my website, where the user can input a lastname and it will show the address and phone number of a person.
