Develop an algorithm that can efficiently search for a given keyword in a list of items

List of items: [macaroni, apple, banana, parsley, tomato]
Keyword: apple
user
A simple algorithm for searching for the keyword “apple” in the given list of items would be to traverse the list of items one by one and compare the item with the keyword. If the item matches the keyword, the algorithm returns the item and terminates the search. If the item does not match the keyword, the algorithm moves on to the next item. If the list of items is long, a more efficient algorithm such as binary search should be used.
