It does not find the string in the array of strings - Using the function strstr – RIBA Jan 08 '22 at 23:43

The function fgets
can append the entered string with the new line character '\n'
.
You need to remove it as for example
fgets(search_for, 80, stdin);
search_for[ strcspn( search_for, "\n" ) ] = '\0';
