Flask app not displaying list as expected - flask

Question

I have an app that scrapes a website using beautiful soup. It returns the data in a table for me. I implemented a search bar using wtforms and a sqlite3 query.
Web page sample
This returns the data I want, but not how I want it. As soon as I submit the search it loads a list on a page instead of on the index.
the results after search
This is my flask app (part of):
#app.route('/', methods=('GET', 'POST'))
def index():
products = get_products()
form = SearchForm()
if form.validate_on_submit():
item = '%' + form.searchFor.data + '%'
c.execute("SELECT * FROM supplementInfo WHERE (name) LIKE (?)", (item,))
search_results = c.fetchall()
return str(search_results)
return render_template('index.html', products=products, form=form)
And this is the html:
<div col-12 class="wrap">
<div class="search">
<form method="POST" action="/">
{{ form.csrf_token }}
{{ form.searchFor(class_="searchTerm") }}
<button type="submit" class="searchButton">
<i class="icon-search"></i>
</button>
</form>
</div>
</div>
<div class="infoTable">
<table>
{% for row in products %}
<tr>
<td>{{ row[0] }}</td>
<td> {{ row[1] }}</td>
<td> {{ row[2] }}</td>
<td> {{ row[3] }}</td>
</tr>
{% endfor %}
</table>
</div>
</center>
<div>
<table>
{% for item in search%}
<tr>
<td>{{ item.name}}</td>
</tr>
{% endfor %}
</table>
</div>
{% endblock %}

Ok, I figured it out. I had to change the app to read as such:
#app.route('/', methods=('GET', 'POST'))
def index():
products = get_products()
form = SearchForm()
if form.validate_on_submit():
item = '%' + form.searchFor.data + '%'
c.execute("SELECT * FROM supplementInfo WHERE (name) LIKE (?)", (item,))
search_results = c.fetchall()
return render_template('index.html', products=products, form=form, search_results=search_results)
return render_template('index.html', products=products, form=form)
I realized I was returning the list instead of returning the template and passing it the list.
