Make Object Types Searchable by OID or indicator name

Right now if someone comes to me and asks me to enable crasSVCNumSessions / .1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.392.1.3.35 it's kind of a nightmare.

Under Object Types I cannot search by OID or via the indicator type "crasSVCNumSessions".

The best I can currently do is search for Cisco ASA <as a text search, not even based on the actual device type>, and then guess on which Object Type will most likely have the indicator I'm looking for. Find that indicator, right click, and check if the OID matches. It's made easier if I have the indicator type name, but sometimes I don't have that.

Under Object Types let me do things like:

1) Search based on an actual device type, not just a search string

2) Search based on a OID and show me if there is a match.

3) Search based on a Indicator Type Name and show me if there is a match.

This would allow administrators of SevOne to waste a lot less time.

It get's even worse when some indicator types are sometimes in random places.

.1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.392.1.3.35 - crasSVCNumSessions is under RAS sessions

.1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.392.1.3.37 - crasSVCCumulateSessions is under Active Email Sessions <most likely bad placement.

So even though per the MIB these two indicator types are related, sevOne has got them under two totally different object types, making it difficult to find.
