We cannot. Dictionaries aren't meant to be used that way. You can iterate through the dictionary using iteritems() instead - 

for name, id in list.iteritems():
    if id == search_id:
        print name

Yes you can check below code

dictionary = {'george' : 16, 'amber' : 19}
search_age = int(input("Provide age"))
search_name =input("enter name")
for key, value in dictionary.items():
    if value == search_age:
        print(key, '::', value)
    if key == search_name:
        print(key, '::', value)
