[Tutor] Search function

Hi Edy,

Here is a link (http://www.courses.fas.harvard.edu/~qr20/lectures/Mar9/) to
a class, which I took last year and which I will CA next semmester. It is
an introduction to programming, taught in Python. The notes and code
implement a few simple searches. Note that the functions assume a list of
list of the form [[name1, phone1], [name2, phone2], ...]. However, they are
easy to modify so that they accept any old list, and the string module has
great functions to put a text file into list form. This should be
straightforward to adapt. 

Cheers, 

Pijus
