      Hi Vikas Gupta,
      Thanks for coming.
      Once you tap the Search option in the Messaging app, you'll see the the option box in the left side of the search field. Tap that box to display the drop down menu and then select "Sender". Now, type the desired contact (name/number) you wish to search his messages and then tap search button.
      Hope this helps :)
