        </apex:pageblock>
    </apex:form>  
</apex:page>  

Can anyone help me to solve the issue?

Answer 1

accountlist is a List<List<Account>> , which is the wrong type; a SOSL search returns a List<List<sObject>> . It just so happens that your SOSL search only returns Account results.

When you iterate over a List<List<sObject>> :

<apex:pageblockTable value="{!accountlist}" var="accountobj">

the type of the iteration variable is List<Account> , which has no Name property.

The cleanest solution is to declare your variable as a List<Account> and extract the first element of the returned List<List<sObject>> from SOSL.
