You need to have some sort of a database with links to all images, and descriptions of all images. Then you need to code a PHP-script that takes care of the searching and prints out the suitable images.

You should probably just think of it as an very simple search engine that happens to display images instead of links.

To make a database is o.k but PHP is not my think

I have see a great search engine that is exaclty like I whant it... Take a look

Well, either do your database in XML and use Flash to handle it, or you're going to have to learn a scripting language, like PHP.
