and i know this is in the exact match part but it kind of refers to search order a little bit where it searches for the next largest value that’s that’s what that number one represents the next larger value so we have one one two thousand and if we look right here the next value above one one two thousand is one five two thousand and so it should return angela martin let’s see if that works and there it is now let’s look at the actual search order so let’s do equals x lookup this is the value that we want to be searching for and we’re going to be looking at this start date and comma and we want to return the name now let’s get over to search mode now the search mode performs a search starting at the first item so at the very top going down so by default it searches from first to last but you can reverse that and do search from last to first or you can do a binary search
