I made a bit of a mess..

Not really sure how to get this to pull the query I was able to get the program to quit lol, thats about it.

var message = '';
var student;
var search;

function print(message) {
  var outputDiv = document.getElementById('output');
  outputDiv.innerHTML = message;
}

for (var i = 0; i < students.length; i += 1) {
  student = students[i];

}
while (true) {
  search = prompt("Search fo a student.Type 'quit' to exit the program");
  search = search.toLowerCase();
  if (search === 'quit'){
    break;
  } else if (search === student.name){
    message += '<h2>Student: ' + student.name + '</h2>';
    message += '<p>Track: ' + student.track + '</p>';
    message += '<p>Points: ' + student.points + '</p>';
    message += '<p>Achievements: ' + student.achievements + '</p>';
  } else {
    if (students.indexOf(search) > -1){
    print(search + 'student is not available.');
  }
}
}
print(message);

You have an extra ending curly brace after the while loop. That could be the issue.
