You should search for it like this.

You may need to switch from database to file first.

I think there is no other way unless you know where you stored it.

Extreme mode!!!

Daz "duf" save files are zip archives. You can use a unzip-tool (such as 7-Zip) to decompress them to a temporary folder.
Inside there will be a JSON data file with a LOT of details about all the objects in the scene and all the related settings.
If you know the display name of the scene object you cannot find, you can search the JSON file for the name string. Somewhere in that section should be the path to the directory of the object data files.

Mm. that is useful. Never did that though. Have to try that out.

Since working with HoneySelect, i was surprised that their PNG images will (but isn't a must) contain all the assets. It's like magic. You just load it and everything is there. Wonder why DAZ doesn't do that. Probably copyright.

p.s. indeed. Though a lot of gibberish in it but you find what you were using. Either way, you could find out.

That's indeed nice to know, thanks.
