If your code is generated by Gii you should have already available a _search partial view for this .. otherwise you can take a look at this guide http://www.yiiframework.com/doc-2.0/guide-output-data-widgets.html .. at this section http://www.yiiframework.com/doc-2.0/guide-output-data-widgets.html

essentially as you can see in doc you should create a proper partial view 

    <div class="post-search">
      <?php $form = ActiveForm::begin([
          'action' => ['index'],
          'method' => 'get',
      ]); ?>

      <?= $form->field($model, 'title') ?>

      <?= $form->field($model, 'creation_date') ?>

      <div class="form-group">
          <?= Html::submitButton('Search', ['class' => 'btn btn-primary']) ?>
          <?= Html::submitButton('Reset', ['class' => 'btn btn-default']) ?>
      </div>

      <?php ActiveForm::end(); ?>
  </div>

and render it inside your grid view

with 

    <?= $this->render('_search', ['model' => $searchModel]) ?>
