David Wilmot is probably the name most connected with the word Lobbyist in DC politics (http://www.washingtoncitypaper.com/blogs/looselips/tag/david-wilmot/). I think there's a reasonable argument to be made that this is common knowledge to anyone with an interest in DC politics. Although I'll admit that linking his name wouldn't have been a burden.

I think it would be good to be able to easily organize the data using his name because he, like many lobbyists in this town, works for more than one company. Having more ways to easily sort the data allows users to paint a broader picture and draw more accurate/informed conclusions.

OCF started to build a search system, no third party has stepped up to do a better job, I think OCF should improve upon the system that they created. Although, I'd be ecstatic if a local college student (or other person/group) stepped up to do it as Jasper suggested above.
