I spend hours searching for these blue babies.

This is the easiest way I know of. Unfortunately you cannot setup a shortcut key for it though.

Did you try the magnifying glass in the Layers panel?

Select the object then in the layers panel at the bottom, select the magnifying glass and it will highlight the layer. I learned this in the Adobe Illustrator Advanced Course by Dan Scott on Udemy. I highly recommend (especially if you get it on significant discount. They frequently run sales.)
