With all the messages I've seen so far on this thread, all you've 
managed to do is confuse it further.   I suggest you start over (new 
thread) with a legal program defining a single dictionary (with real 
values for Key, Key2, and value, and without extra quote marks which 
make it fail to compile even if we guess what you're doing with the 
three keys).  I suggest that at least some relevant parts of the data 
should not be all identical, so we can tell what's important.

Use copy & paste from working code.

Then given a real dictionary, describe what you really want to search 
for, and what acceptable results would be.

And also specify the programming language, version, and OS environment.

Thanks.
