Did some testing out of curiosity, and WOW this is fast.
repeat for each key tKey in tArray
if tArray[tKey] begins with tSearchString or \
tArray[tKey] contains tSearchString then
put tKey & return after tResults
end if
end repeat
The only question I have is.. why search for the same thing twice? If it
"contains" it also "begins with" so its a redundant check. (making it
faster) Am I missing something here?
