Every search program consists of the following three major steps.
1. Interaction
2. Look at existing information
3. Responding back
In the interaction step, the program asks the user to enter a proper request; and user responds by inputting the data, usually through the keyboard. In the second step, the program will take the requested information (search key) and search through existing information that is stored in a file, array, memory location, or any other data structures. The program then responds back to say whether or not the information was found.
2. A search key is a variable value that is used to compare with the elements of an array or a file.
