Anyway, your answer is like saying baby steps must find it (what) first. Total bullshit.

To understand babystep giantstep read the wiki article https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baby-step_giant-step

If you search in a range, you just need to generate a small babystep lookup table, with potential steps in that range. But if you are looking for a value outside the provided range, the babystep lookup table wont contain the necessary value! So you are having no hit.

The english WP contains no example, but the german one contains an example:
