Last time I modeled the Grover search algorithm with Pyquil from Rigetti. It works on simulator. My question is, if it is possible to use this algorithm for a real search problem (yes I know, quantum computers still far apart from performance to do) in databases or files - theoretically, or is this algorithm only useable for the special search for a function result?

This is a theoretical question only.

I'd recommend reading this paper for a discussion of practical applications of Grover's search, followed by the appropriate tag on Quantum Computing StackExchange. This question is asked so frequently, it makes more sense to keep track of good answers rather than writing a new one every time :-)
