Binary search can only be utilized on sorted lists. In order to search an unorganized list, you can use linear search which compares each element in the list with the target element until it finds a match. However, linear search has a time complexity of O(n), which means that it becomes inefficient for large lists. Another option could be to sort the list first using a sorting algorithm such as quicksort or mergesort, and then apply binary search. This would result in a time complexity of O(log n), making it more efficient for large lists.
