    </apex:pageBlock>

    </td>
  </tr>
  </table>

  <apex:pageBlock title="Debug - SOQL" id="debug">
      <apex:outputText value="{!debugSoql}" />          
  </apex:pageBlock>   

  </apex:pageBlock>

  </apex:form>
</apex:page>
Controller:
public with sharing class QuesSearchCont {
// the soql without the order and limit

  // init the controller and display some sample data when the page loads
  public QuesSearchCont() {

    runQuery();
  }

  // toggles the sorting of query from asc<-->desc
  public void toggleSort() {
    // simply toggle the direction
    sortDir = sortDir.equals('asc') ? 'desc' : 'asc';
    // run the query again
    runQuery();
  }

  // runs the actual query
  public void runQuery() {

    try {
      faq = Database.query(soql + ' order by ' + sortField + ' ' + sortDir + ' limit 20');
    } catch (Exception e) {
      ApexPages.addMessages(e);
    }

  }

  // runs the search with parameters passed via Javascript
  public PageReference runSearch() {
try{
FAQ__c f=new FAQ__c();
    String question = Apexpages.currentPage().getParameters().get('Question__c');
    String answer = Apexpages.currentPage().getParameters().get('Answer__c');
   
  
    
    soql = 'select Question__c, Answer__c from FAQ__c where Question__c!= null';
     if (!question.equals(''))
      soql += ' and Question__c LIKE \'%'+String.escapeSingleQuotes(question)+'%\'';
    if (!answer.equals(''))
      soql += ' and Answer__c LIKE \'%'+String.escapeSingleQuotes(answer)+'%\'';
   // if (!accountName.equals(''))
     // soql += ' and account.name LIKE \''+String.escapeSingleQuotes(accountName)+'%\''; 
    
    // run the query again
    }
     catch(NullPointerException ne){
     ApexPages.addMessages(ne);
    }
    runQuery();

    return null;
    }
  
 

}

Hi Veeraaiah, 


Need some more information on this, 

Are you getting any errors? Did you try the debuig logs?

As we try to display Create record form on the Visualforce you have to link it to the Custom Field which will store the Question. 

See the below thread for code to 'Insert Record into custom object'
