As Mike mentioned, Powershell is useful for this type of stuff. I use WMI:
(gwmi -cn <primaryservername> -Namespace root/sms/site_<sitecode> -class 
sms_collection).name

This will get you a list of all collection names. You can use a filter or a 
select-where to check for an individual name.

PowerShell could help too.

Sorry I'm working from memory but I think it would be something like:

Get-CMDeviceCollection -Name "name of your collection"

Subject: [mssms] Tracking down Device Collection

Am I crazy, or is there just no way to search ALL device collections by name?  
I went to create a device collection and it says it already exists, yet I can't 
find it in any of my folders.  I can't seem to find a way to search by name, 
other than searching against my present view.
