Hi Veeraiah,

You are getting this error because you haven't given by default value to "selectedValue" string variable.
Please set value for it first In your constructor.
see below updated class code.

public class FAQCu {
public String selectedValue {get;set;}
public FAQCu(){
  selectedValue = 'AllUsers';
}

public List<SelectOption> getUserType(){
  List<SelectOption> options = new List<SelectOption>();
  Schema.DescribeFieldResult fieldResult =FAQ__c.Users__c.getDescribe();
  List<Schema.PicklistEntry> ple = fieldResult.getPicklistValues();
  // options.add(new SelectOption('All','All'));
  for( Schema.PicklistEntry f : ple){
   options.add(new SelectOption(f.getLabel(), f.getValue()));
  }
  return options;
}
public List<FAQ__c> getSearch(){
  System.debug('====selectedValue===='+selectedValue); // You will get the Selected Value here

  List<FAQ__c> temp = new List<FAQ__c>();
  String queryString;
  if(selectedValue=='AllUsers')
   queryString='SELECT Users__c,Question__c,Answer__c from FAQ__c WHERE Users__c = \'AllUsers\'';
  else if(selectedValue=='InternalUsers')
   queryString='SELECT Users__c,Question__c,Answer__c from FAQ__c WHERE Users__c = \'InternalUsers\'';
  else if(selectedValue=='ExternalUsers')
   queryString='SELECT Users__c,Question__c,Answer__c from FAQ__c WHERE Users__c = \'ExternalUsers\'';
  //26line//  
  temp = Database.query(queryString);

  return temp;
}
}

You might also want to notice that on the above lines he added the escape character with quotes around the 'ALLUsers', 'InternalUsers', and 'ExternalUsers'.  Make sure you do that also.
