How to show a result message using Struts2

I have a search box on my index page, it is supposed to return a message if no result was found or redirect to result page if it succeeded.

Currently, if results were found it redirects to the new page, and if not will stay on the same page (index) but it does not show the message, just add the mymessage parameter to the page address as following 

 www.address.com/index.jsp?mymessage=Sorry,No+results+were+found.

Index

 .......
  <s:property value="mymessage"/>

SearchBox

 public String search(){
    ....
        if(found)
            return "success";
        else
            return "failed;
 }

struts.xml

 <package name="Search" extends="default" namespace="/Search">
        <action name="*" method="{1}" class="com.myproject.myclasses.Search">

            <result name="success" type="tiles">search</result>

              <result name="failed" type="redirectAction">
                <param name="actionName">index</param>
                <param name="namespace">/</param>
                <param name="mymessage">${mymessage}</param>
            </result>

        </action>    
    </package>

I think <s:property> expects a getter getMyMessage() on your action class to populate values can you try <s:property value="#request.mymessage" />

OR

Why can't you use action errors?

    public String search(){
    ....
    if(found) {
        return "success";
       }
    else {
           addActionError("No results found");
           return "failed;
       }
    }

Now in the index.jsp add the following,

    <s:if test="hasActionErrors()">
            <s:iterator value="actionErrors">
                 <s:property escape="false"/>
    </s:iterator>
      </s:if>
