SDSS website is somewhat complex, hard to find stuff there. Right now I don't remember if it even has the option you want...
Well,
here's radial search, check out also other search options at the left in the linked page.

NED is little picky about the format of given coordinates,
here's some help on that.
Entering coordinates like this works:
RA or longitude = 01h02m03.4s
DEC or Latitude = +15d16m17s
Or you can give them as degrees like this:
RA or longitude = 1.2
DEC or Latitude = 3.4
But as I tried these and some other things I didn't get any crash errors, at worst I got a "Bad RA or longitude" error. I don't know what could cause that. But perhaps we can make a test search, a really simple one, put these values into NED's near position search:
RA or longitude = 1
DEC or Latitude = 2
Search Radius (arcmin) = 10
And then click "Near position search". I get a list of 17 objects starting from a galaxy called "APMUKS(BJ) B005719.36+014338.1".
