            msg='Work Order Number already Exist' ;

You can simply add a new button to the page next to your existing one along the lines of:
  
<apex:commandButton value="New" Action="{!createNew}"/>

And then in your controller you can have a method that redirects a user off to the create method... 
public PageReference createRecord() {
        PageReference createPage = new ApexPages.StandardController(Work_Order__c);  
        createPage.setRedirect(true);
      return createPage;
}

Of course, the button will always there, so you might want to use the "Rendered" attribute to determine if it shows. You could put a flag on the controller and set it when the search is performed:
  
apex:commandButton value="New" Action="{!createNew}" rendered="{!showNew}"/>
and then in the controller have
  
public boolean showNew = false;
and after your message about there being no search results, set showNew to true.

oh yeah, sorry. that controller advice was a bit bum. Easy to debug though, try something like:
  
public class Search
{    
    public String SearchText{get;set;}
    public Work_Order__c wo{get;set;}
    public string msg{get;set;}
    public boolean showNew { get; set;}

    public Search(ApexPages.StandardController controller)
     {
        showNew = false;
     }

    public void search()
    {
        List<Work_Order__c> wolist=[select id,name from Work_Order__c];
        for(Work_Order__c w:wolist)
        {
            if(w.name.containsIgnorecase(searchText))
            wo=w;                   
        }
        if(wo==null)
        {
            msg='Work Order Number Not Exist u can create New by given link below';
             showNew = true;
                        
        }
        else
        {
            msg='Work Order Number already Exist' ;
            showNew = true;
        }
    }
   
    public PageReference createRecord() {

        PageReference createPage = new ApexPages.StandardController(Work_Order__c); 

        createPage.setRedirect(true);

      return createPage;

}

 }
see - I was missing a get and set on the boolean definition (unless you wrote getCreateNew() instead) and then I've added the setting of it to true in your code (and also a set to false, to hide the button should they reperform the search)

any better?
