If you load up a singleplayer seed in Creative, and turn on the advanced tooltips (F3+H), you can scroll through the creative inventory and manually search for it page by page, or use the compass to do a full search for the required item. Mousing over will produce its ID (for example, Stone is minecraft:stone) along with a numerical value which denotes which iteration of the block it is (stairs have 0-7, to denote which diretion they're facing).

I'm a year late in replying, but hopefully this will help the next person.
