I created a sitemap, added my website for indexing on Google's console, but still my website is not showing in Google search results until I search for the whole URL of my website. Anyone know why it is happening? E.g. If my website is example.com then searching example does not show my website, but if I search for example.com then it works fine.

How long has it been since Google started indexing your site? Do you get the page returned if you search for an exact phrase on the page?– MrWhiteCommented Nov 29, 2016 at 22:22

Being indexed by Google does not guarantee that they will show your webpages in search results.
That may depend on several factors, such as the content quality or relevance of the search keywords.
In your case it seems that your site is already indexed but to be sure which pages are included in Google's index, do a search of the domain with the site: prefix, that will show you all the webpages currently indexed by Google: https://www.google.com/search?q=site:example.com.
The web is an organic, constantly shifting ecosystem, and your site’s performance in search can change for many reasons. Maybe Google is having problems crawling your site, or maybe there’s a problem with your content.
