Here is my code with extra credit... minus the matching names

// declare my variables up here so that they are defined once the window opens.
var message = '';
var student;
var search;
var results;

// function to print html to the window
function print(message) {
  var outputDiv = document.getElementById('output');
  outputDiv.innerHTML = message;
}

/*function to print the student report. I didn't include an argument for 
this function.. Don't think I need to? */
function getStudentReport() {
  var report = '<h2> Student: ' + student.name + '</h2>';
  report += '<p>Track: ' + student.track + '</p>';
  report += '<p>Points: ' + student.points + '</p>';
  report += '<p>Achievements: ' + student.achievements + '</p>';
  return report;
}

/* while loop to run the loop so long as the condition is true.
 If the user cancels (null) or quits, the loop will break
*/
while (true) {
  search = prompt('Search student records:');
  results = [];
  if (search === null || search.toLowerCase() === 'quit') {
    break;
  } 
  // for loop to cycle through the students array to match with the users search
  for (var i = 0; i < students.length; i++) {
    student = students[i];
    if (student.name.toLowerCase() === search.toLowerCase() ) {
      results.push(student[i]);
      message = getStudentReport(student);
      print(message);
    }
    /* I created a results array to store the student records.. 
I tried using just a number value and doing results += 1 every 
time there was a match, but this didn't work. Bonus points
 the person that tells me why :)  However, if the search didn't
 have a match in students, nothing will be stored and this condition will pass.*/ 
    if (results.length < 1) {
      message = "<h2> Sorry, that person does not exist in our records. </h2>";
      print(message);
    }
  }
}

    if (results.length < 1) {
      message = "<h2> Sorry, that person does not exist in our records. </h2>";
