I didn't see any variable access issues. But it looks like when an existing name is entered, the script will go into an infinite loop. A quick fix is to move the last "prompt" statement out of the "else" block, so it will always be done regardless of the condition.

Also, "flag" isn't being reset inside the loop, so if a previous search was successful, the next one won't detect a "not found" condition.
