for(var i = 0; i < students.length; i += 1) {
    student = students[i];
    if(search.toLowerCase() === student.name.toLowerCase()){
      message = studentRecords(student);
      found = true;
    }

Try changing 

      message = studentRecords(student);

to 

      message += studentRecords(student);

Setting message = studentRecords(student) is causing message to be deleted and rewritten every time there is a match meaning only the record for last student in the array with the same name will be shown. Writing message += studentRecords(student) causes the message to be added to whenever a duplicate name is found which will return the records for every student with that same name.
