Instructions
Run the Search Named Ranges macro.  It will prompt you with a search form offering you suggestions of named ranges in your workbook as you type.  Use the up and down arrows (or click with the mouse) to select a suggested named range and insert the entire range name in the search box.  When the entire range name is in the search box, press the Enter key to jump to it.

Press the Escape key to clear the search box.  If the search box is empty when you press the Escape key, the search box will close.  You can also clear the search box by pressing the X icon to the right of the search box.

There are three icons to the right of the search box that will sort the search results either ascending, descending, or in the order they appear in the named range manager.
