Assuming you mean a live search type of thing, like Google etc
do then you need to bind the keypress (or maybe the key-up)
event to a function that does the search based on the current
contents of the entry box.

I suspect this should be outside the loop?
You presumably only want to fetchall once?
And then you want to loop over the results
you retrieved?
[Alternatively you can loop over the cursor
without the fetchall. I've never actually tried
that approach but it should work... Most of
the examples I've seen use the execute call
as the iteration though:
for row in cur.execute(....):
but iterating over the cursor after execute
might work too. But you should only use one
of those techniques not both.
]
Normally I'd do something like:
cur.execute(...)
for row in cur.fetchall():
process(row)
