My solution? I got one now. It is a new object oriented design
model. You see I take containers and all the work I do with them
happens inside of the class. So that frees up a lot of space in my
main function, and lets me forget about tired old functions. Take a
peek:

#include <utility>
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <map>

using namespace std;

class Bookz : public map<string, string>
{

public:
Bookz() {
cout << "Welcome to the database. Enter information, and type 'end'
to stop."<< endl;
cout << "Name: ";
  }
   void add(string name, string number){
typedef pair <string, string> b_Pair;
insert( b_Pair(name, number) );
   }
~Bookz(){}
void search_Name(string lookup_Num){
cout << find(lookup_Num) -> second << "." << endl;
    }
};

int main( void ) {

  Bookz keeper;

      string s=;
   string n=;

   while (s!="end" || n!="end"){
       cin >> s;
   if(s=="end"){cout <<"Finished inputing data."<<endl<<endl;
break;}
   cout<<"Number: ";
       cin >> n;
   if(n=="end"){cout <<"Finished inputing data."<<endl<<endl;
break;}
   keeper.add(s,n);
   cout <<"Name: ";
}

cout << "To search the database enter a name. 'quit' exits."<<endl;
   while (s != "quit"){
         cout<<"$ ";
  cin >> s;
  keeper.search_Name(s);
  }

       cout<<"Goodbye."<<endl;

return 0;
}
