Your Python program already follows good coding practices, and it is efficient enough. Since it doesn't involve handling big data or any computational intensive tasks, further optimization might not have a significant impact. But, as a general Python programming optimization, using local variables instead of global ones makes accessing faster. So, in this context, storing the result of 'search_type' in values in a variable and reusing it might be slightly more efficient. Here is the slightly improved version.

But remember, Python's built-in operators and functions are highly optimized and are generally more efficient than custom-typed code. And also, the best way to make your code faster is to profile the code and find where most of the time/memory is spent.

Correctness verification

The new optimized code was tested for correctness. The results are listed below.
