Kent and Bob,
Are you thinking of the first problem in Bentley's Programming Pearls?
The original poster's questions sounds like it could be in that domain.

So I agree: the next questions we probably should ask the original poster:
* Why are you trying to search for a number in those sorted integers?
* Is there anything characteristic about those sorted integers that
might be peculiar or useful? Do the numbers have "streaks"? Are the
integers large or small?
