I'm trying to loop indefinitely until a condition is met...is the following correct?

It seems not to be.

    var set = false;

    while(set !== true) {

        var check = searchArray(checkResult, number);

        if(check === false) {

            grid.push(number);

            set = true;

        } 

    }

Basically, you can make an infinite loop with this pattern and add a break condition anywhere in the loop with the statement break:

while (true) {

    // ...

    if (breakCondition) {            

        break;

    } 

}
