Not combo-box, PLEASE. Just a search field. Doesn't discard the need for sheet
selector. 
But the selector should only really list categories, which shapes are used on
the current diagram, unless prompted for more.
Yes it may slow down the initial steps of making a new diagram, but you get
two benefits out of it.
1. Shorter list of sheets, that is always relevant to your current work.
2. When you give your work to someone else, they wouldn't need to wade through
their many sheets to find out, what of them may contain this or that
primitive.

Eh... This should really be user-configurable. IMO.
