2. On the Search pane, you can search assemblies using the component ID or component class ID.

    Type the ID in the Component ID box.
   
   
    If you are unsure of the ID of the component, click the  button beside the box. 
    A new Classification Search Dialog opens where you can search for the name of the component. Use wildcard characters, if necessary.
