Craig,

If you are working on Windows (and have Microsoft Access) you can download
the EPSG .mdb file which includes lots of fancy search dialogs for finding
coordinate systems.  I generally just search on likely types of names in a
text editor in a text file dump of the spatial_ref_sys table or equivelent.

Best regards,
