Can someone please guide me on which languages to learn for the program I want to make?

Hello, I am a complete newbie to computer science. I know what I want to make, and I hoped you can help me out with which tools do I need to learn. For the back end, I want to hardcode some of the URL's and I want to tag them with a specific keyword. Now for the front end, I want a completely white background. Nothing fancy. Along with this, I want to add a search bar, and whenever I put in those keywords, I want my program to display the URLs I fed it in the order I want. Can you please tell me how can I make this? Thank you

So, the key question is should you use a web framework or not. Since you're just getting started, I would say no. The next question: how many URL's do you want to keep track of and how many keywords per URL? Will the URL's change along with their keywords in response to someone's input to your application?

If things will never change, you may be best off by using HTML and jQuery, loading content from a .json file with all your URL's and tags.

there will be 2 sets of 4 URLs. and each set will have one keyword. So all together there will be 2 keywords

So 2 sets of 4 URLS. Does that mean you can have 8 different pages on your site?

No, I don't need any pages, at least I think I don't. I just want to be able to enter that keyword, and the program will show me those 4urls. (Those URL's are from developed sites). So when I press a URL, then it can lead me to that page.
