There are a lots of layers in my projects. Previously I have renamed a layer with "system" and to that layer I have set visibility hidden. I want to show that layer again but I have to search manually by scrolling the layer palettes and I can do that. But I want to know just that is there find dialog box which can search layers by name etc.

Photoshop CS6 (v13) and CC (v14) both have the capacity to search layers via several different options right there on the Layer Panel itself.

No, it is not in CS4. CS6 was the first version to add layer searching.– ScottAug 23, 2013 at 9:45
Solution to your problem is in Photoshop CS6 where you can select layers by Type - Name - Attribute etc. like in above answer if you don't have latest version. Then i have tip for you i.e. i use to do very often manage your layers by Grouping related layers this helps a lot to apply some thing on a multiple layers. This even helps if you have layers in different groups. Better management smart and timely output. Below is the link for further help.
On PC: Shift + Ctrl + Alt + F
On Mac: Shift + Command + Option + F
In Photoshop CC 2020 this enables you to do a Name search in the Layers Tab.
Alternately, you can use the shortcut Ctrl / Cmd + F. The shortcut to bring the Global search function in photoshop. This function was added in Photoshop CC 2017.
In previous versions of Photoshop (below Photoshop CC 2017), Ctrl / Cmd + F was the keyboard shortcut for reapplying the last-used filter.
