var inStock = [ 'apples', 'eggs', 'milk', 'cookies', 'cheese', 'bread', 'lettuce', 'carrot', 'broccoli', 'pizza', 'potato', 'crackers', 'onion', 'tofu', 'frozen dinner', 'cucumber'];
var search;

function print(message) {
  document.write( '<p>' + message + '</p>');
}

while(true){
  search=prompt("gib ein und bei quit ist es tod und bei list kommt die ganze liste");
  search=search.toLowerCase();
  if (search==="quit"){
   break;       
  } else if (search==="list"){
   print(inStock.join(","));

In your while loop, in the last 'if' statement, you do not have a closing parenthesis.

//Right here
if (inStock.indexOf(search)>-1 {
    print("yes we got it");
} else {
    print("not in the stock");
}
