The Google Sheets Lookup function does not have the option of (Contains / Equals), so which one is it?

I believe it automatically does equals. Is there any way to do contains for a gsheets lookup?
Great question, Jeremy! I'll check this out for you, because their API docs don't specify it but chatGPT said this for now: The Google Sheets API itself does not provide direct functionality for "contains" or "exact match" filtering... They will simply return a range of cells or values from the spreadsheet as requested (based on the input restrictions). It does seem like it's mainly an equals statement though.
We haven't heard back from you in a bit, so we're going to go ahead and close things out here - feel free to let us know if you still need something!
