lookup
This term describes the specific action of retrieving a known value from a structured source. In general usage, it refers to the human act of consulting a reference, while in technical contexts, it refers to an automated algorithmic process. It is distinct from "search," which implies a more open-ended exploration or a hunt for something that may not exist.
In computing, the term is frequently paired with "table" to describe a data structure used for rapid retrieval. Users should be careful not to confuse the noun "lookup" with the phrasal verb "look up," which is the action of performing the search.
