Python for loop ignoring if statement

For some reason python is ignoring my if statement, even if the str(search) is in lista it still prints the elif statement regardless, am i doing something wrong?

    search = input("what would you like to search for?:")
    for n in range(len(lista)):
         if str(search) in lista[n]:
             print(lista[n])
         elif str(search) not in lista[n]:
             print("search not found in list")
             break
