Don't know if I got you right, but I don't think you need much additional
PHP here.
So could you please be more specific about the functionality of this "search
tool"?
Sounds like a simple CONTENT element using tt_adress as a table and a
dynamically created andWhere to define the query.

BTW: Usually you don't give things "back" to TS. It's just vice versa.
You use TS properties as the second parameter of a function call to modify
the output of the function.
The function is called with functionname($content,$conf) and will return
$content only.
