I created a stack to do some testing to see about making a function that could do multiple types of tests. What I found was that adding another if at that point added about 6% to the search time and a second level (else if) added another 10% (16% total). (I added a parameter for search type - "String". I used "String2" to get a second option, but used the same test). When I used number instead of strings it was a little lower, but not much (5.5% and 11% total)
