Following demo is a single Apex custom controller, two Visualforce pages and a wrapper class allowing the user to search an object by keyword (via Dynamic SOQL) and return the results in a page block table with corresponding checkboxes. Selecting one or more checkboxes and clicking the ‘See Results’ button displays the list of the selected items.

This is a very common function as you typically want to search for stuff and then process some selected stuff.

You can run this demo on Jouff Douglas developer site.
