My code was a little different than that in the video, but already solved the multiple people with the same name problem

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

var students = [
  {
    name: 'Scout',
    track: 'Front End Web Development',
    achievements: 28,
    points: 2508
  },
  {
    name: 'Luis',
    track: 'Web Design',
    achievements: 30,
    points: 3025
  },
  {
    name: 'Clara',
    track: 'Rails Development',
    achievements: 58,
    points: 14930
  },
  {
    name: 'Kathryn',
    track: 'iOS Development',
    achievements: 28,
    points: 2596
  },
  {
    name: 'Scout',
    track: 'Learn Python',
    achievements: 47,
    points: 5964
  }
]

while (true) {
  var searchQuery = prompt('Please enter the name of the student you or looking for or type "quit" to exit');
  var message = '';
  if (searchQuery === null || searchQuery.toLowerCase() === 'quit') {
    break;
  } else {
    for (var i = 0; i < students.length; i += 1) {
      var currentStudent = students[i]
      if (searchQuery.toLowerCase() === currentStudent.name.toLowerCase()){
          message += '<h2>Name: ' + currentStudent.name + '</h2><ul>';
          message += '<li>Track: ' + currentStudent.track + '</li>';
          message += '<li>Achievements: ' + currentStudent.achievements + '</li>';
          message += '<li>Points: ' + currentStudent.points + '</li></ul>';
      } 
    }
  }
  if (message === '') {
    message += 'Sorry, there are not student records for ' + searchQuery;
  }
  print(message);
}
