I'm generally +1, but I still don't really like the names "lookupLess" or "findLess". It just doesn't invoke the right association. Maybe something that shows the relation to findMin/Max? E.g., something more along the lines of "lookupMaxBelow", "lookupMinAbove".

+1 for lookupMaxBelow and lookupMinAbove (and lookupMaxBelowEqual / lookupMinAboveEqual).

If we go with min/max terminology rather than lt/le/gt/ge, might I suggest rather: lookupMaxNotAbove / lookupMinNotBelow ? "Below equal" and "above equal" is mixing metaphors. -- Live well, ~wren
