Here are a couple of alternatives that I have used.

1.)  Export your WL file as an ADIF file and import it into DX4WIN.  You can 
then use DX4WIN's search capability to find particular calls.  Incidentally, 
this is how I create QSL labels.

2.)  Export a comma delimited (CSV) file out of WL and import it into MS 
Excel to create a spreadsheet of your log.  Use Excel to then find the calls 
you are searching for.

Questions?
