What is not happening ? Your code looks ok. You're adding pagemessages and have the <apex:pageMessages ></apex:pageMessages> element in your VF. Do you mean if no account is found ?

 

if(SearchAccount != '')
  Account = [select id, name,BillingState,phone,website from Account where name=:SearchAccount ];
}

 You have to keep in mind this can also return an empty list, or a list of multiple accounts (accounts may have the same name) so you'll get an exception in that case. I would put the query result in a list variable, and chek the list size. If <1= add page message that there were no results.


 

Besides that, 

 

if (SearchAccount != '') {
    if (SearchAccount != '') Account = [select id, name, BillingState, phone, website from Account where name = : SearchAccount];
} else {
    ApexPages.Message msg = new ApexPages.Message(ApexPages.Severity.Warning, 'Please Enter a Search String');
    ApexPages.addMessage(msg);
}

Why do that twice ?  once is enough ..
