It's not nearly as nice as I would like, but you can go to Locate->Landmark, type in a street name, and see if you find any matches. Of course, since they will probably be on Main Street and every town and village has a Main Street, you will probably get a lot of matches. Once you find a suitable match, click on that row of the search results dialog, and the map will pan-and-zoom to that geographical feature.
Of course, this only works as well as the crowdsourcers who entered the street data in the first place. I've made a lot of edits on the OpenStreetMap website to correct errors and missing names in my local area and add missing data (like the township office buildings for each of the 63 townships, cities, and boroughs in the county my ARES/RACES group serves). And then those changes have to wait until the next snapshot is released by the OpenStreetMap Foundation, and I download that snapshot and import it into YAAC.

Andrew,
If I may ask another question. I kept getting request to search an address on the map. Several times during the event I got an address to pick up a stranded rider. Although we got there it would be nice to input the address and it shows up on the YAAC map. Then everyone can see the location see when a sag gets there to help
