Want to find the adress with postal code ? use Excel directly. Ctrl+F
small trics of using the tool:

2.copy the column "Name" twice in *.xls for index, by matching it with SortName, so you can find it in adress interface
3.Clasify your client with a new column, and match it with group, and then you can filter by the keyword.
