Search Function, I need help creating a basic search function in C

I was planning on using a "searching by elimination" kind of thing. She wants me to do a search by string. The only thing is, she didn't tell us how to do that yet and she won't let us do a search in any other way. I don't have any code for this as I don't know HOW to code it in the first place. I don't need anyone to code it for me, I just need what libraries are necessary and a basic syntax guide for a simple string search. Thanks.

Is it a search a filename in the specified directory? First advise is, try to search here in the snippets sections.

The program that we're supposed to be making is a program that locates parts of the human skeletal system, individual bones. I'm completely new to searching for a string value in C. The basic flow of the program would be.. CODE Input from user --> Search database for matching terms --> output matching terms--> end if the search term isn't found in the database, the program would output the most similar terms. That's what our teacher told us to do to make it "simpler". Well, for the end user maybe, but not for us. I have no inkling of how to code something like this.
