When should I use searching instead of sorting?

You should use searching when you need to find specific data quickly, while sorting is for organizing data.

Can you give me an example of when to use each?

Sure! Use searching to find a specific name in a list, and sorting to arrange names alphabetically.

What are the performance implications of each?

Searching can be faster for small datasets, but sorting can be more efficient for larger datasets if you need to access multiple items.

Are there any tools that can help with searching and sorting?

Yes, many programming languages have built-in functions for searching and sorting, like Python's sort() and filter().
