why arent the results in the for loop being print to the console? 

javascript
var students= [
  {   name: "Sarah",
   track: "ios",
   achievements: 20,
   points: 50
  }, {
   name:"tom",
   track: "frot end programming",
   achievements: 40,
   points: 60
  },  {
   name: "Bob",
   track: "java",
   achievements: 60,
   points: 70
  }
];
function print(message){
  console.log(message);
}
while(true){
var search= prompt("Type student name for info");
if(search === null || search.toUpperCase === "quit"){
    break;}
}
for(i=0; i < students.length; i+=1){
    if(search.toUpperCase() === students[i].name){
    var message=student.name + " " + 
          student.track + " " +
          student.achievements + " " +
          student.points;
     print(message);
   }
}

There were many typos in your code like student instead of students and while comparing in the if statement

Also, beware this code here: It's not going to do what you probably intended. You'll never match "quit" to an uppercased version of anything. :)

if(search === null || search.toUpperCase === "quit") { break; }
