I have been interviewing applicants to where I went to college, and this appeared on the Web page where I have to create a report about the applicants:
"Lookup applicant"
I've complained about this before, but I like repeating myself! This is called a phrasal verb, and there's always a space between the root verb and the preposition following. It should be "Look up applicant."
If it were a noun, as in "workout," you would smush the words together.
