Does find() do what you want?  It doesn't give the position in the 
search path, but you could get that from something like

name <- "plot"

which( search() %in% find(name) )

Be aware that a name can appear in more than one place in the path, and 
not all available objects are on the search path.  So I'm not sure the 
above solves your real problem.
