Hello,
You can create a full NGC list via the Database Search. Just append objects from different types to the same list. Better yet, since lists are supposed to be objects you intend to observe, create a custom list of objects that are well observed in your telescope from your location. Or break them up by constellation, etc.
But you don't need a list to look up objects, and a list would not work well for that anyhow. Just use the designation search. All you have to do is enter the number, e.g. "2367". There is no need to browse multiple catalogs.
