My solution to the multiple name, please let me know what you think and what I can improve

This is how I solve the last problem. 

var html = ' ';
var student,userSearch;
var quit = false;
var counter = 0;
function print(message){
  var printDiv = document.getElementById('output');
  printDiv.innerHTML = message;
}
do{
  if(counter < 1){
    userSearch = prompt('Please enter the name of the student you wish to look for in the database or type "quit" to exit the program');
  }else if(counter > 0){
    userSearch = prompt('The Name you enter is not in the database. Please enter the name of the student you wish to look for in the database or type "quit" to exit the program');
  }
  if(userSearch === null || userSearch === 'QUIT'){
    quit = true;
  }
  userSearch = userSearch.toUpperCase();
  for(var i = 0; i < students.length; i++){
    student = students[i];
    if(userSearch === student.name.toUpperCase()){
      html += '<h2>' + 'Student: ' + student.name +'</h2>';
      html += '<p>Track: ' + student.track.join(', ') + '</p>';
      html += '<p>Achievements: ' + student.achievements + '</p>';
      html += '<p>Points: ' + student.points + '</p>';
      quit = true;
    }else if(userSearch !== student.name.toUpperCase()){
      counter++;
    }
  }
}while(!quit)
print(html);
