Here is my code. It’s homework but i have done it all. But the search function does not work. I know Im doing something wrong in it. The user has to enter a name to search and it should display the whole entry. There is an error at the void search function which says “error C2120: ‘void’ illegal with all types”

One problem I can see is:
The function fstream::open is declared as:
as you can see its return type is void, so you cannot use it in the if expression.
