Tell us what you are trying to do?

I have a really simple page that I'm trying to create. It's for a school. I have 110 student records that I imported. There are three custom fields: Student ID, First Name, Last Initial. When someone visits the website, all I want them to see is a search bar (no lists of items, etc. - literally just a search bar). When they enter a student ID into the search bar and hit enter, I want just one record to show up that matches the student ID entered, in table format (one row w/ student ID, student first name, and student last initial). What's the best way to accomplish this? Thanks.

Is there any documentation that you are following?

Is there a similar example that we can see?

What is the link to your site?

I should also point out that I don't need a "detail" page. When the single result shows up, the user shouldn't be able to click on anything.

Hello,

I suggest you try these:
1) setup a custom post type "Student":

2) Add some custom fields (Student ID, First Name, Last Initial) to post type "Student"

3) Create a post view, with search form, for user to search the "Student" posts

4) Display above post view in a wordpress page

For your reference.
