You know what would be really useful for this is the old Hypercard indexing engine! ;-)
Seriously though, splitting to an array does not help as there is currently no way to search the elements of an array. Since repeat for each line does a kind of line indexing in memory, it should be much faster if you check for each thing being searched for in a single pass.
