[Bluej-discuss] Exercise 4.19 from the book....

[Colleen Penrowley]

Hi,

The way you have written your code, the "not found" message will be printed 
for each item in the notebook that does not contain the search term. So if 
the matching note is in position 2, you will see "not found" for positions 
0 and 1, and then the note from position 2.

What you want to do is search through the entire notebook before printing 
the "not found" message. So you need it to come after the loop, not inside 
the loop.
