I found I had accidentally created a solution for the repeat records problem :) by simply using the += to build the output message each time it checked a student with the same name in the for loop, it would just list it below. Like wise if you search Dave ENTER, Jordan ENTER, quit. It will show both Dave and then Jordan below.
I also solved the no student found problem with a somewhat inelegant solution but hey it works.. If the search name does not match the student, it adds 1 to a notFound variable. At the end of the loop, if this variable matches the length of the student array, ie all students were marked as not found, then it show an error. This gets around the iteration of the for loop overwriting any found students.
Feedback always appreciated.
