123 does not match your regular expression.

Yes but the thing is that 123 is in the database but not retreiving why is that so

How will I make it to search both words and numeric

[pritaeas]

if(preg_match("/^[ a-zA-Z0-9]+/", $_POST['search'])){ 

or

if(preg_match("/^[ a-zA-Z\d]+/", $_POST['search'])){ 

assuming you'll allow words with numbers.
