As mantioned by @Rinecamo, try this code:

string toSearch = Console.ReadLine().Trim();

In this codeline, you'll be able to read user input and store it in a line, then iterate for each line:

foreach (string  line in System.IO.File.ReadAllLines(FILEPATH))
{
    if(line.Contains(toSearch))
        Console.WriteLine(line);
}

Replace FILEPATH with the absolute or relative path, e.g. ".\file2Read.txt".
