Hey. I think it's because your 'for' loop needs to be in the 'while' loop and instead you have them written separately. Like this: 

while (true) {
    search = prompt("Search student records: type a name [jody] (or type 'quit' to End.)");
    if (search === null || search.toLowerCase() === "quit") {
    break;
    } for (var i = 0; i < students.length; i += 1) {
    student = students[i];
    if (student.name === search) {
      message = getStudentReport(student);
      print(message);
     }
  }
}
