Hi Michael,
I know exactly what you are wanting to do. Pr doesn't have that specific feature (to find clips by name in the timeline itself).
How we do go about it in Pr is to find the clip in the Project Panel and then we can see the listing of all the instances used from there.
Selecting from the list will place the playhead at the first frame of the selected instance in the respective timeline (it can jump to a different timeline than which is currently open).
It won't select the clip itself and is a one at a time process.
Use the feature request page to add the find and select feature. :)
