In computer science, various searching algorithms are available. We choose among them according to the situation. There are some efficient searching algorithms like Binary Search, Jump Search etc. In this paper a new searching algorithm which tracks the key element faster in some cases is proposed. This algorithm is Log Search. This algorithm only works for a sorted array. This algorithm searches the key element in a sub-array of the full array. If there is no possibility to find the key element, it will try to find out the next sub-array. If there is a possibility to find it to that sub-array, then it will recursively do the same thing.
