I have series of files like this:

foo1.txt.gz
foo2.txt.gz
bar1.txt.gz
..etc..

and a tabular format files that describe the file

foo1 - Explain foo1
foo2 - Explain foo2
bar1 - Explain bar1
..etc..

What I want to do is to have a website with a simple search bar and allow people to type foo1 or just foo and finally return the gzipped file(s) and the explanation of the file(s).

What's the best way to implement this. Sorry I am totally new in this area.
