It must have been 25 years ago that I was told about this technique and the name given then was binary chop, I guess because you successively chop the range to be searched in half. Perhaps the name depends on which side of the Atlantic you live. Strangely enough, until today, when I coded one to test if my suggestion worked (it did), I had never had occaision to use one.
