$dbName = "product_list";

$conn = mysqli_connect($dbServername, $dbUsername, $dbPassword, $dbName);

    $search = mysqli_real_escape_string($conn, $_POST['search']);
    $sql = "SELECT * FROM product_list WHERE a_Name LIKE '%$search%' OR Pharmacy LIKE '%$search%'";
    $result = mysqli_query($conn, $sql);
    $queryresult = mysqli_num_rows($result);

    echo 'There are' . $queryresult . 'results!';

    if ($queryresult > 0) {
      while ($row = mysqli_fetch_assoc($result)) {
        echo "<div class='result-box'>

Answer

Your search field name is search in lowercase but you are checking for Search in $_POST which is capitalized. Make sure they match and it will fix the issue
