Answer 1

I am assuming that you are asking for Ethereum Blockchain.

I wanted to know, how i can add block

Adding a block in Ethereum requires mining. You can find more about mining here.

add transaction

Transaction can be added using eth.sendTransaction more details about it can be found at https://github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum/wiki/Contracts-and-Transactions

search for transaction in blockchain

Transaction details can be found from the transaction hash that we get when we send a transaction. Use eth.getTransaction(txHash), to get the details of the transaction.
