I'm new to JQuery and I'm trying to figure out how to add a search to a mobile site.

I found this code snippet but I don't know how to setup the rest of the search function. Do I need a database or text file to search though? I'm not sure how to call a plugin either with JQuery. 

I'm assuming JQuery has a plugin available for this? I tried searching this forum but I can't find anything. Any help would be appreciated!
