Creating a form that retrieves data from database

I’m using wpforms and want to build a form that allows users to fill out several fields that specify what they are searching for (filter) and when they click “submit”, I want wpforms to retrieve entries from my database that meet what the user specified and allow the user to edit the data if they wish. So far, I’m only able create a form that enters data into my database, not one that searches and retrieves data from the database. How do I do this?
