How can HTML forms and PHP be combined effectively to create a search feature like the one mentioned in the forum thread?

To create a search feature using HTML forms and PHP, you can use the form input to capture user search queries and then use PHP to query a database or search through a dataset to find relevant results. You can then display the results on the webpage. 

<?php
// Check if the form is submitted
if(isset($_POST['search'])) {
    // Retrieve the search query from the form input
    $search_query = $_POST['search_query'];
    
    // Perform a search query using the $search_query variable
    // This could involve querying a database or searching through a dataset
    
    // Display the search results
    echo "Search results for: " . $search_query;
}
?>

<form method="post" action="">
    <input type="text" name="search_query" placeholder="Enter search query">
    <input type="submit" name="search" value="Search">
</form>
