object[,] siblings = { { "John", 25 }, { "Mike", 30 }, { "Tom", 40 } };

Let say I have a value:
string searchString = "Mike";

How do I search for the [searchString] in the array siblings and get the age
(in case of Mike, it is 30)?

Is your array always 2-dimensional?

It would be much easier if you follow Arne's earlier advice to store the
data in a single structure.

But, if you insist on the 2-dimensional array, it's as simple as
iterating over one dimension, examining the 0th element for each
iteration (which is a string) and comparing it to the string you're
looking for. Once found, the value is in the 1st element for the same
iteration index.

Yes, it is always 2-dimensional.
