Default Fast record searching in array

Hi,

I know that there is the SEARCH command to find a record location quickly in
a range of cells. However I would like to know whether it has the same
command to find record location in array.

I have searched a lot of information in many VBA sites. They all suggest to
use a looping method like FOR....NEXT, DO....WHILE, etc to achieve this.
However, I found that if the quantity of array record is over serveral
thousand, using the looping method to locate the record is very slow.

I know it is work by using the temorary sheet rather than array for such
case. I also test it and it found quite slower than using the array method.

Is there a command or otherwise to have a fast searching in array?

Regards,
Chris
