JavaScript Specific Search Bar - SOLVED

So I'm trying to code a search bar for a glossary I'm making. It's got terms and their definitions. I want the search bar to search only the terms and then display relevant terms and definitions. I don't want it to search the definitions for the words. Anyone wanna help me with the js part? I have very little js knowledge. I'm using the dl element for my glossary with the dt and dd combined under a div if that helps at all.

html javascript display website filter search glossary
