Hi Christos,

Please follow below similar thread to implement a lookup or search functionality with custom fields on visualforce page:
https://developer.salesforce.com/forums/?id=906F00000008pxcIAA

You might want to utilize the similar logic for the clear button as well.

Hope above information helps. Please mark as Best Answer so that it can help others in future.

Thanks.

Hello Shivankur,

Really thank you for replying! I don't need to implement a lookup but to have this text field and the buttons in order to search or clear my results. On click of the search i populate some columns with the returned results.
