I've named many things. Sprite sequences, brains, sprite instances, midi files, probably more. You can't search for a sprite name, but you can simply type it in. The box for that is not in the video, it's in the "extra" tab. Everything that can be adjusted in the map screen can be typed in there as well (position, size, etc).

For sprite instances, there is currently no way to find them. However, I plan to add "select sprites by regular expression", which means you can do things like
- select all sprites named "King"
- select all sprites with a number in their name
- select all food
- select all sprites with size > 100
- select all sprites with a warp set
and so on. And combinations with "or" and "and".

That, plus a drop-down box of selected sprites, which centers the view on the selected one, should give you all the search capabilities you want, I think.

However, I haven't started this yet. There are some other features I also want, which I also haven't started yet.

In other words, all this may take some time. But it's already usable.
