Again, you are in the wrong group.

The ECMAScript group is elsewhere.

(Are you the one that thinks that Javascript supports UTF-16?,
 16 bit Unicode? Only four functions do and it is not
 16 bit codepoints. It is a 16 bit encoding of unicode.
 And believes that "escape" does not exist and that "%xx"
 format as "escaped" data is a figment of all our, or at
 my, imaginations?)

Your response is irrelevant.

Does creating an assoicative array with keys from an unordered
list enable efficient searching of the list by looking for the
key? As keys are meant quickly to be found they are likely
stored in an efficiently searchable structure.

If that is true, it can be used to remove the need for
presorting followed by a bisection search.

Some people use it. I take it you believe it doesn't work
(much as you believe that decodeURIComponent(escape(string))
cannot possibly be used to convert UTF8 encoded text to 
Javascript strings - in UTF16 which Javascript may not
properly recognize).
