Default searching a large database with a long list of search terms

Max,

The OP didn't get back to me when I asked about sorting the reference
data beforehand. Can you sort your random data in the 6 sheets then
re-apply your formula to take advantage of this to see if there is a
big increase in speed? In theory, the binary search technique applied
if the data is sorted should make a massive difference to 6 * 65536
entries.

Pete
