Well, to do this, you'll need what's called "Server-Side Scripting". You may have heard of PHP or Perl/CGI. If you haven't, then I'm afraid you have some learning to do. Fortunately, you've come to the right place. Mosey on over tizag.com. From the left pane, select either PHP, ASP or Perl tutorials. In fact, look at them all, because you'll find that you'll be faithful to it forever.

I won't write it for you, because you'll just come back for another. And to be brutally honest, nobody has time for that. But I think that the website I've provided you wit has a feedback form on it, so study hard!

Good luck.

regarding form processing,
you may use "free remotely hosted scripts" for the purpose.
you can find such services if you do a search in any search engine.
regarding site search also i think there are many free services.
even google offers a site search i think

Does your hosting company not offer a formmail script? Many do.

Do a search for Site Search scripts, or you can use a remote hosted one where they crawl your site and give you the code to add to your site - we've used freefind.com before.
