Did you add a messages tag to the visualforce page?

 

<apex:messages />

 

 

I believe that is required for displaying the messages from controllers outside of the debug log.

public PageReference doSearch() {       
    results = (List<Account>)
    [FIND :searchText IN NAME FIELDS RETURNING Account(Name,BillingState,BillingCity,Phone,Websit​e,Id,RecordType.Name)] [0];       
if(results==null){ 
ApexPages.Message errormessage = new ApexPages.Message(ApexPages.Severity.ERROR,'No Records found');
    ApexPages.addMessage(errormessage);
    }

return null
