Java, searching within a list of objects?
I'm a bit lost on the way to make this happen the fastest. I have a large list of objects that have basic variable attributes (with getters / setters) and I need to do a search in this list to find the objects within the list that match a given parameter

I have found how to do a regular list search but I need to, for example search for the value of the result of doing a call getName() for each object in the list and get objects that have a result that matches my input.

Something like below where the third argument is the result of the method call and the second is what I am trying to find.

       int index = Collections.binarySearch(myList, "value", getName());

Any advice is appreciated
