Searching a large dictionary

[mike171562]

i am trying to search a large Python dictionary for a matching value.
The results would need to be structured into a new dictionary with the
same structure. Thanks.

The structure is like this

{ Key : [{'item':value,'item2':value,'
item3':value,'item4':value,'item5':value','item6':value,'item7':value,'item8':value,'item9':value}],
Key2 :
[{'item':value,'item2':value,'item3':value,'item4':value,'item5':value','item6':value,'item7':value,'item8':value,'item9':value}],
Key3 :
[{'item':value,'item2':value,'item3':value,'item4':value,'item5':value','item6':value,'item7':value,'item8':value,'item9':value}]
}
