You can add Look Up filters in the object level.

Go to the lookup field -> Lookup filter -> Show Filter Settings

 

then you can add filters.

Have a look here http://blog.jeffdouglas.com/2011/08/12/roll-your-own-salesforce-lookup-popup-window/

You can customize this code by changing the query according to your filters.

I interpret the question not as 'how do I create a filtered lookup' but how do I get the filtered lookup to work when added to a VF page'.
