search function and imort av data from excel

Permalink
i'm trying to build a website where a lot of data is supposed to be found. On the sitebar i would like to add a seach function which leads to the different data in my website. Maybe i express myself totally wrong - i'm looking for something like the website from "trip advisor.com " where you can search for restaurants in a certain city and you get the following results.
Since i'm totally new here and since i do not have any idea about creating websites or programming i really need some help over here.

Another question of mine is - how to create businesslistings in concrete 5, similar to ones used from tripadvisor.com
I have so far created excel sheets and they might to be imported or am I wrong?
