Thank you all for your help. Now, my search is really fast. For anyone having similar problems: 1. My source was a huge unsorted JSON file. I converted it to a much smaller sorted text file. So, reading it into a String array, the array is already sorted. 2. String[].Find() indeed works with Mode=gb.Like=4. It's faster than doing the For...Next work yourself. 3. But gb.Like doesn't mean it finds anything matching your first characters, case insensitive. You have to use 'i = MyStringArray.Find(SearchString & "*", gb.Like, 0).
