Default How do I create an equivalent VLOOKUP function using FIND?

I wish to create an equivalent search algorithm using FIND to produce similar
results to if I was using VLOOKUP.

Basically VLOOKUP does everything I want to do but is not case specific when
looking through cell ranges. I need a case specific VLOOKUP.

I have an array and wish to be able to search through for a value say 'a'
(different to 'A') and then return the data in the 4th column from it.

In VLOOKUP 'speak' I have

=VLOOKUP(a, $A$2:$Z:3000, 4, FALSE).

Can anyone help?
