Hi Pat,

well... you coud try out QGIS3  :-)

it has this 'universal locator' functionality in which it is REALLY easy
to search for an id/attribute value in ONE layer at the moment. In 2.18
there is probably also a plugin for (anybody?), but I think it will
always be slower.

would be a nice addition/feature though, to let the locator run over all
layers...
