You can also search the incredibly useful spatialreference.org for something like "NAD83 17N".
Interestingly, searching for "NAD_1983_UTM_Zone_17N" doesn't turn up any results, despite being a string that exists in the PRJ file description you can download from that site for EPSG:26917. I'm guessing the various format outputs are all auto-generated and it's a bit tricky to search them all when they are built on the fly. Too bad since it would be handy to help identify EPSG codes from .PRJ files. P.S. Many thanks to cschmidt for helping to create that site.
