Default Returning multiple instances of the same lookup value

Hi!

One way:

C1 = lookup value

Entered as an array using the key combo of CTRL,SHIFT,ENTER:

=IF(ROWS($1:1)<=COUNTIF(A$1:A$5,C$1),INDEX(B$1:B$5 ,SMALL(IF(A$1:A$5=C$1,ROW(A$1:A$5)-ROW(A$1)+1),ROWS($1:1))),"")

Copy down until you get blanks.

How can I have a lookup (or other function) find all values in column A
that
match my lookup value? Simplified Example:
A B
1 cat
1 dog
2 bird
3 hamster
3 fish

I would like to look up "1" and have it return both "cat" and "dog", not
just "cat".
Is this possible?
