Answer / khasim

Search is Sequential Search. Records need not in sorted
orer.
Searchall is Binary Search. Records should be in sorted

In Search we should set position where we start.
In Searchall, we will not set the position.

We can write more than one WHEN clause in Search. But in
search all we should write only one WHEN clause.
