The outputlookup command will push results from a search to a static lookup tabe. So your form needs to have a search that takes the value of the textfield and runs a search using the output lookup command.

See:

Note: I think before Splunk 5.0 you could not use this to append data. You could only replace a look table.

i think what you're looking for is a combination of a lookup and a workflow:
