Search sub function for a linked list

[jam51197]

Good day. :)
I need help with the snippet of my code. My search sub function is not working and I haven't got the slightest to fix it.

The problem is. When I enter more than two records in my linked list, the search sub function will only recognize the first one I entered, and will display "Invalid Input" if I try to search the other records. I included the other sub functions just in case the problem is not in the search sub. Thank you :)

void search()
{
	char a[size];
	system("cls");
	cout << "Enter the Item Code: " << endl;
	cin.ignore();
	cin.getline(a, size);


	p = front;
	if (p != NULL)
	{
		if ((strcmp(a, p->icode)) == 0)
		{
			cout << "Name: " << p->name << endl << "Manufacter: " << p->manufacturer << endl << "Price: " << p->price << endl << "Item Code: " << p->icode << endl << "Barcode: " << p->barcode << endl << "Color: " << p->color << endl << "Category: " << p->categ << endl << "Stock: " << p->stock << endl << "Purchase Type: " << p->purchase << endl << "Store Availability: " << p->store << endl;
			p = p->next;
		}
		else
		{
			cout << "Invalid Input\n";
		}
	}

	system("pause");

}

void add()
{
	getData();
	if (front == NULL)
	{
		front = p;
	}
	else
	{
		rear->next = p;
	}
	rear = p;


}
void getData()
{
	system("cls");
	p = new Node;
	cin.ignore();
	cout << "Name: "; cin.getline(p->name, size);
	cin.ignore();
	cout << "Manufacturer: "; cin.getline(p->manufacturer, size);
	cin.ignore();
	cout << "Price: "; cin.getline(p->price, size);
	cin.ignore();
	cout << "Item Code: "; cin.getline(p->icode, size);
	cin.ignore();
	cout << "Barcode: "; cin.getline(p->barcode, size);
	cin.ignore();
	cout << "Color: "; cin.getline(p->color, size);
	cin.ignore();
	cout << "Category: "; cin.getline(p->categ, size);
	cin.ignore();
	cout << "Stock: "; cin.getline(p->stock, size);
	cin.ignore();
	cout << "Purchase: "; cin.getline(p->purchase, size);
	cin.ignore();
	cout << "Store: "; cin.getline(p->store, size);
	cin.ignore();

	p->next = NULL;
	system("pause");
}

Your `search()' function does not contain any loop, it only checks the node pointed by `front'

Okay then. I removed the "p = front". But now, the first record I inputted isn't read. What can I do to fix this?
