Currently sniff requires you to manually drill down to find your accessible nodes.

It would be great to be able to automate this somehow.  Various approaches to
this, all of which would be nice; I'm filing these as separate bugs:

Implement a search toolbar.  Some visual mockup:

basic view:
[Search for Button    [\/] ] [named [\/]] [ (text entry field) ]  [Search]

With one combo expanded:
[Search for Button    [\/] ] [named [\/]] [ (text entry field) ]  [Search]
|Search for Button         |
|Search for Menu           |
|Search for Menu Item      |
+--------------------------+

With the other combo expanded:
[Search for Button    [\/] ] [named [\/]] [ (text entry field) ]  [Search]
                             |named     |
                             |labelled  |
                             +----------+

etc, the combo values aren't exhaustive.
