'Search' Option in zosmf

We are looking for options to search for a particular string in the zosmf rules.
For example, if we need to find which rules are coded with a specific IP address , zosmf should have some options like searching this specific string and display all the rules associated with this.

    While we have no plans to implement this specific function, it should be noted that if you use an address group or a symbol to represent an IP address, you can then use show where used to see everywhere it's used.  Also a less elegant but workable workaround is to generate the policy configuration file and search it for the IP address in question.
