This is my answer for the video. Only works when you click in cancel.

var find=false;
while(true){
  search=prompt('Search students records, type a name[Jody]or 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 += '<h2>Student: ' + student.name + '</h2>';
      message += '<p>Track: ' + student.track + '</p>';
      message += '<p>Points: ' + student.points + '</p>';
      message += '<p>Achievements: ' + student.achievements + '</p>';
      find=true;  
    } 
 }
  if(!find){
    alert(" We didn't find the name "+ search+ " inside our records");
    find=false;  
    }
  print(message);
}
