I am completely new to web development and I want to set up a database search client on a website I am making because I do not want to write my own inefficient MySQL query strings. My plan is to use Elastic Search for this and my main question is:
Once my site is on a dedicated server somewhere, how do I install Elastic Search to the server, and/or what should I look for in a server so that I will be able to use Elastic Search?

You'll need a JRE, that's about it as far just getting started.
See http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/reference/setup/installation.html for more details.
You'll probably want to run it as a service, If your using Windows you can download installers here. https://github.com/rgl/elasticsearch-setup/downloads
Hit me up if you need any help.
