Sorry for the confusion, Simon, this is almost exactly what I need, but
i need to be able to search for a string in a given value of an item
Here is an example of the dict I am working with
{'252': [{'code': '51679', 'date': '2009-08-01 11:35:38', 'userfield':
'252', 'from': '9876662881', 'to': '19877760406', 'fpld': '"Foobar"
<9855562881>', 'result': 'ANSW', 'sec': 131}, {'code': '51679', 'date':
'2009-08-01 14:33:55', 'userfield': '252', 'from': '9876662881', 'to':
'19877770391', 'fpld': '"Foobar" <9876555881>', 'result': 'ANSW', 'sec':
86}]}
252 being the key, I need to be able to search for a string in a given
item , say 777 in the 'to' field so
print wtf(dict,'to','777')
would return
{'252': [{'code': '51679', 'date': '2009-08-01 11:35:38', 'userfield':
'252', 'from': '9876662881', 'to': '19877760406', 'fpld': '"Brochsteins"
<9855562881>', 'result': 'ANSWERED', 'billsec': 131}, {'code': '51679',
'date': '2009-08-01 14:33:55', 'userfield': '252', 'from': '9876662881',
'to': '19877770391', 'fpld': '"Brochsteins" <9876555881>', 'result':
'ANSWERED', 'billsec': 86}]}
I hope this makes sense, sorry for not being clear

Is this what you want?
def wtf(big_dict, search_key, search_value):
result = {}
for key, value in big_dict.iteritems():
if search_value in value[0][search_key]:
result[key] = value
return result
