I have just tried searching for a few objects, just as a test. According to the HTML handbook on Torres' site, the curiously named Jump combo box in the middle of the toolbox is the best place to search. I printed the handbook out, as there is so much in this program!! I tried common names, eg: Bug Nebula, Ghost of Jupiter, Omega Centauri, all were found on the map. The small icon above the small search window like a purple book with a "R" (reference library) displays a dialog box where extensive searching is available on a list by constellation or type. Simply clicking on any object on the list immediately brings it up on the map screen.
