I was looking to find objects around the head of Hydra in a Database Power search and currently the only thing I can do is search by constellation which is not that much use from my latitude. Would it be possible to add an extra feature to allow the user to specify an RA and Dec range in the search to get more useful results?

When you click on "Nothing" to enter a position to search around, the Object Requestor dialog appears. Most people never seem to look past the Search tab, but you can also select the Enter Coordinates tab to enter coordinates to search around.
