searchindexnodes = []
searchindexnodes[1036592] = 'Apparel'
searchindexnodes[672123011] = 'Apparel'
searchindexnodes[165796011] = 'Baby'
This doesn't appear to be working. Any thoughts?

I think a better solution would be to use a dictionary. If you wanted a list with empty elements you'd be creating a list with over 100,000,000 elements which would be a huge waste of memory.
searchindexnodes = {}
searchindexnodes[1036592] = 'Apparel'
Python implements searching quickly in dictionary data structures. You could check if an element is present by doing something like
if 1036592 in searchindexnodes:
print "It's there!"
Edit to iterate through the whole list you can do something like if you want the key and value
for key, value in searchindexnodes.items():
print "{0} --> {1}".format(key,value)
otherwise what's below will loop through each key
for key in serchindexnodes:
print key

Perfect! How can I iterate over searchindexnodes after?

@Shamoon: as any other iterable object: for i in searchindexnodes:
Sam Dolan
use a dictionary for that:
searchindexnodes = {}
searchindexnodes[1036592] = 'Apparel'
searchindexnodes[672123011] = 'Apparel'
searchindexnodes[165796011] = 'Baby'
