void search(string item)
{
  current = head;
  while(current->info != item)
  {
    current = current->link;     //infinity loops occur when item not found
  }
  
  if(current->info == item)
    cout << current->info;
  else
   cout << "item not found";
}


when a not valid "item" is entered to this function, infinity loops happened, need help in fixing this code....
