I'm a bit new to python and I'm trying to create a simple program which adds words and definitions to a list, and then calls them forward when asked to.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
choice = 0

words = []

entry = 0

definition = 0

escape = 0

finish = 0

memory = 0

dictionary = []

search = 0

def ask_ok(prompt, retries=2, complaint='Yes or no, please!'):
    while True:
        ok = input(prompt)
        if ok in ('y', 'ye', 'yes'):
            return True
        if ok in ('n', 'no', 'nop', 'nope'):
            return False
        retries = retries - 1
        if retries < 0:
            raise IOError('refusenik user')
        print(complaint)


print("Welcome to Digital Dictionary V1.0!\n\n")

while escape < 1:

    choice = input("Type 'Entry' to add a word to the Dictionary, 'Search' to find a word, and 'Exit' to quit. ")

    if choice == '`':
        break
    
    if choice == 'Entry' or 'entry':
        while finish < 1:
            entry = input("Please type the word you wish to add: ")
            words.append(entry)
            definition = input("What does the word mean?\n ")
            dictionary.append(definition)
            print(entry, '\n', definition)
            ask_ok("Is this entry complete? ")
            if True:
                finish = 1
                entry = 0
                definition = 0

    elif choice == 'Search' or 'search':
        search = input("Please type the word you wish to find: ")
        print(search in words)
        

    elif choice == 'Exit' or 'exit':
        ask_ok("Are you sure you want to exit? ")
        if True:
            escape = 1
    
    else:
        print("Please choose an option from the list.")
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
However, if I run the program using anything but 'entry', the program still runs the 'entry' subroutine. After the 'entry' subroutine is run once, no options work. Ex:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
>>> 
Welcome to Digital Dictionary V1.0!

Type 'Entry' to add a word to the Dictionary, 'Search' to find a word, and 'Exit' to quit. entry
Please type the word you wish to add: computer
What does the word mean?
 a device for computing
computer 
 a device for computing
Is this entry complete? yes
Type 'Entry' to add a word to the Dictionary, 'Search' to find a word, and 'Exit' to quit. search
Type 'Entry' to add a word to the Dictionary, 'Search' to find a word, and 'Exit' to quit. exit
Type 'Entry' to add a word to the Dictionary, 'Search' to find a word, and 'Exit' to quit. `
>>>
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The only option which seems to work is the '`' subroutine, which I added to stop the program after running for a while. I believe it works because it was added before the 'entry' subroutine.

If anyone can help me figure out why it won't run properly, I'd be really grateful.
P.S: I haven't finished the 'search' subroutine, but I just want to get this small problem solved soon so I can
