You can search by constellation or star name using the "Advanced search" function
https://www.ap-i.net/skychart/en/documentation/advanced_search

You can also search star name in the "quick search" bar.
The following examples work:
4 lyr
eps lyr
vega

Double double is not in the list because it contain only the IAU approved names.
