Default How to select item without using advanced filter?

Try this array formula** :

Assuming you enter this formula in cell A1...

=IF(ROWS(A$1:A1)<=COUNTIF(G$1:G$6,"car"),SMALL(IF( G$1:G$6="car",F$1:F$6),ROWS(A$1:A1)),"")

** array formulas need to be entered using the key combination of
CTRL,SHIFT,ENTER (not just ENTER)

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to select item based on following
conditions?
Under column F, there is a list of numbers.
Under column G, there is a list of types.
For example
1 Car
2 Orange
3 Car
4 Water
5 Orange
6 Car

I would like to select all the number with the type - Car under column H.
I try following code without luck
=INDEX(F:F,MATCH("Car",G:G,0)), I would like to select the
Small(number,row()) based on rows. Such as
In cell H1, it should return 1
In cell H2, it should return 3
In cell H3, it should return 6

Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions
Eric
