I created a python add-in that allows the user to search within the map extent and populate a drop down of features. Once you click on a feature in the drop down, it zooms you to it. There is also a clear selection button and an export to PDF button that is hooked up to text elements in map layout view. I've only tested in 10.2.2. You will need to open the file in the install folder to modify and then run the makeaddin.py to commit your changes to the addin. The following pieces will need to be changed for your use: Layer Name, Data Frame Name and all Field Names.
Thanks to Wes Miller for the help.
Let me know if you see any areas for improvement.
