function fails to run

Hello I am trying to run a program that allows a user to update a list of URL bookmarks in a data file. The bookmarks are to be sorted alphabetically by category at all times. I used several functions to create this program. The read, sort, display and quit functions are working. The add_bookmark, search, and delete_bookmark functions are not working properly. I added comments next to the function calls of these functions in the main. Please advise. I appreciate your help.
