Default Finding subsequent matches

Thank Jim! I'll give it a try.

Right now I'm finding the row of my first match with the following
formula.
=MATCH($B$11,$B$16:$B$10024,FALSE)+15
However, with new data coming in, there may be more than one match that I
need to know about. I'd like to use multiple cells to capture the row
number
of each subsequent match. My current approach is something like

[A1]
=MATCH($B$11,$B$16:$B$10024,FALSE)+15
[A2]
=indirect("MATCH($B$11,$B$" & A1 & ":$B$10024,FALSE)+15")
[A3]
=indirect("MATCH($B$11,$B$" & A2 & ":$B$10024,FALSE)+15")

Is there a more elegant way to find subsequent matches, rather than just
doing a new match based on resetting the start of the match range?
Thanks,
Keith
