Searching for Section Markers by name or id

I never thought about this before, but there seems to be no way to use Find/Select to select markers based on the marker name or id - is this correct? If not by layer, how can i group select markers??

I guess i can get done what I need in the project map, but it does seem strange that I can use find/select to select markers based on their ID and Name

Using find/select I can get the marker using the section name( from the name & id not the other Section Name) but apparently there is no way to find the marker using the ID!

I wonder why that was a good idea?

in my case i only have the main section markers on. The rest of the section markers (kitchen, stairs, windows, etc) are only ON in their corresponding plan, so i wouldnt be able to select them anyway.
