Jump to a marker in Timeline / Dopesheet / Graph Editor by it's name
By now you can give a marker a name which can be quite helpful but you still need to remember the frame number in order to jump to a specific frame in your animation. Let's say you have a marker named "jump start" it would be helpful that I can jump to this marker by typing in this name not the frame number.

That's easy to do in python, but would that be good though? Typing names isn't fast. You can assign shortcuts to marker next/previous and taptaptap quickly and get to the marker you want.
A better approach could be to have in the sidebar a UIList with all markers, clicking on them takes you to the marker. That comes with search for free.
Tapping a button is faster, so long you don't have many markers. If you use a lot of them, being able to type-search can be the faster solution.
For a marker list in the sidebar, Blendertools by Froglet Studio does provide a "marker manager" addon, that could serve as inspiration:
This could use the "searchable menus" feature, those which are used for Add Modifier etc.
So you can simply press a shortcut -> type a few letters of marker name -> enter to jump there. It's similar to what you have in VSCode and other IDEs, as a quick way to switch between files.
But I also think it should be an add-on and not necessarily part of Blender.
