I am looking for something that i can search a specific name search.

It is called: chained dropdown

As a matter of fact we have had a topic not long ago
that asked about how to do this.
Search forum and see if you are lucky 🙂

Can be done in PHP but with a bit of help of Java.
Here is a google search for this

I believe halojoy meant Javascript, not Java - two very different animals.
