Searching Hashed Values in Hash Table

I'm working on a programming assignment where I need to implement Quadratic Probing to create a hash table with the states of the United Stated and keeps track of each state's information. The state information is read from a text file. The state's name is used as the key to determine the hash address. The program can be tested by searching for and removing certain states from the hash table.
However, there seems to be a problem with the search function, because it does not return the hashed values when a searched is performed on the hash table, instead it returns the values (state names) from the address where the function originally attempted to put the state. Searching a value that has not been hashed does not give any problems. So, the problem appears to be with the search function (void search(int& hashIndex, elemType& rec, bool& found) cons), or maybe I need to re-define the 'getstateInfo'.
When I use a debugger, it seems like the above mentioned search function is skipped. The code is below.
I would appreciate any help or input that would direct me to a possible solution.

Thanks in advance.

However, there seems to be a problem with the search function, because it does not return the hashed values when a searched is performed on the hash table,

I think the actual problem is that you don't have a hash table. You may want to review whatever description you were given. Failing that, visit https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hash_table and have a read.
