Use email instead of webiste.

Visualforce Page:

<apex:page controller="SearchPageController" sidebar="false" showHeader="false">

Hi R R M,

As I found in your requirement, you ask for Email field too to retrieve account information which 
is not a Standard field of Account Object that may be a custom field on Account Object.

Ex: Name, Phone, Email(Instant-on Email I use Website Field In Demo Code).

Visualforce Page:

<apex:page controller="clsAccountSearch" sidebar="false" showHeader="false">
  <apex:form >
      <apex:pageBlock >
          <apex:pageBlockSection title="Account Search">
              <apex:selectList title="Select Field" label="Select Field" value="{!selectedField}" multiselect="false" size="1">
                <apex:selectOption itemValue="Name" itemLabel="Name"/>
                <apex:selectOption itemValue="Website" itemLabel="Website"/>
                <apex:selectOption itemValue="Phone" itemLabel="Phone"/>
            </apex:selectList>
            <apex:inputText label="Search" value="{!searchValue}"/>
            <apex:commandButton value="Search" action="{!searchAccount}"/>
          </apex:pageBlockSection>
          <apex:pageBlockTable value="{!SelectedAcount}" var="item" >
              <apex:column value="{!item.name}"/>
              <apex:column value="{!item.Phone}"/>
          </apex:pageBlockTable>
      </apex:pageBlock>
  </apex:form>
</apex:page>

Controller of Visalforce Page 
Apex Code:

public class clsAccountSearch {
    public String selectedField{get;set;}
    public String searchValue{get;set;}
    public List<Account>SelectedAcount{get;set;}
    public ClsAccountSearch()
    {   
        selectedField=''; 
        searchValue='';
    }
    public void searchAccount()
    {
        String Query='select Name,Phone from Account where '+selectedField+' =: searchValue';
        System.debug('@Query'+Query);
        SelectedAcount=Database.query(Query);
    }
}
