<td class="text-capitalize"><?php echo $row-> Sex?></td>

Answer 1

You are using wrong end tags.
This will print Search not found inside the table with colspan 5 and center aligned
Note: Most of time we check where foreach value is empty ($results). But in your case you are checking some thing else ($message).
Changes
<tr> <!-- Changed -->
<td colspan="5" align="center"><?php echo $message; ?> </td>
</tr>
if ( isset($message) ){ is changed to if (!empty($message)){
Final code
<div class="z table-responsive" >
<table class=" table table-hover" >
<thead >
<tr >
<th>ID Number</th>
<th>First name</th>
<th>Middle name</th>
<th>Last name</th>
<th>Sex</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<?php
if (!empty($message)) # improved
{
?>
<tr> # Changed
<td colspan="5" align="center"><?php echo $message; ?> </td>
</tr>
<?php
}
else
{
foreach($results as $row)
{
?>
<tr>
<td><?php echo $row-> Idnumber ?></td>
<td class="text-capitalize "><?php echo $row -> Firstname ?></td>
<td class="text-capitalize"><?php echo $row->Middlename ?></td>
<td class="text-capitalize"><?php echo $row-> Lastname ?></td>
<td class="text-capitalize"><?php echo $row-> Sex?></td>
<td>
<a href="<?php echo site_url('viewstudentinalpha/viewspecific/'.$row->Id) ?>" class="btn btn-info " style="font-size: 18px;" type="submit" name="submit" role="button">
Option
</a>
</td>
</tr>
<?php
}
}
?>
</tbody>
</table>
</div>
Edit 01
In Controller
function search_keyword()
{
$session_data = $this->session->userdata('logged_in');
$data['Username'] = $session_data['Username'];
$keyword = $this->input->post('keyword');
$data['results'] = $this->model_adminlogin->search($keyword);
$this->load->view('result_view',$data);
}
In View
Alter your if like this.
Copy all codes i have added in above for your view. and only change this few lines.
<?php
if (!empty($results)) # Change
{
?>
<tr> # Change
<td colspan="5" align="center"> Search not found </td> # Change
</tr>
<?php
}
else
{

This isn't an issue with CodeIgniter so much as your code. What you are trying to do with the code is to put the message between the <thead> and <tbody>, and not in any table tags.
This is the same as trying to put it between rows in a table, and therefore gets interpreted as not being part of the table, and drawn outside of the table as a result.
If you put the message into the <tbody>, it will go in the right place, so you can do:
<?php if ( isset($message) ){
echo "<tbody><tr><td colspan='5'>" . $message . "</td></tr></tbody>";
}....

try this
<tbody>
<?php
if ( isset($result )
// or if (!isset($message)) //depend on your code
{
foreach($results as $row){
?>
<tr>
<td><?php echo $row-> Idnumber ?></td>
<td class="text-capitalize "><?php echo $row -> Firstname ?></td>
<td class="text-capitalize"><?php echo $row->Middlename ?></td>
<td class="text-capitalize"><?php echo $row-> Lastname ?></td>
<td class="text-capitalize"><?php echo $row-> Sex?></td>
<td>
Option
</td>
</tr>
<?php }}
else
//or elseif(isset($message)) //depend on your code
{
echo $message; ?>
}
</tbody>
</table>
</div>
