Oftentimes GP tools output a message with a list of warnings referencing OIDs. However, the locate/layer search pane does not offer such fields as an option. This makes it a little tricky to find the referenced features easily.

You could select attributes on OID and zoom to selected.

We used to be able to search OBJECTID in ArcMap, why in the world did you take this functionality away in Pro?

Why can I run the "Find Identical" tool using the SHAPE field which then dumps out a table with IN_FID?  The IN_FID is the OBJECTID of the original data for which I am trying to find duplicated objects!  So therefore I want to use my "search layer window" to quickly go to each identical object and figure out which one I want to delete, but I can't.   Instead I am forced to Join my data by OBJECTID to IN_FID and we all know how slow joined data can be...

You could use Find in the attribute table and search the ObjectID field as an option:
