Under Search-> Find -> Nebulae there is an option to select from a list of common names. That is close as it is in alpha order. Actually, I don't think the asteroid I mentioned, 2005FN, is available. I'm looking at the CBAT list and the list ends at 2005FK. Toward the end of the list it has objects that I assume don't have official MPC numbers yet, just designations. I guess those are easy as they are sorted by the designation. The others are sorted by the offical MPC number so it is hard to find one if you only know the common name. The ASTORB list has more entries but appears to be limited to officially numbered objects and is sorted by them. Of course, a little Googling will probably turn up the official number of just about any numbered asteroid I'm interested in.
