I would suspect, that if ID is a string, that this,if(current->ID == data_search), is trying to compare an int and a string, which are 2 different types. You'll have to change/convert one or the other to the other type.

data_search is an integer. But is current->ID also an integer?
It seems that current->ID is a string. Probably you can use std::stoi(current->ID) to solve the problem.
