I want to search for different buildings by using the labels I've added to them.
Like for instance, I want to search for the building with the label "1630", as in the picture. Is there any specific function or a plug-in for searching?

You could simply use the 'Select by Expression' tool to find the buildings with the matching labels.
- When the field contains strings:
"YourFieldNameWithLabels" ILIKE '1630' - In the case the field is an integer:
"YourFieldNameWithLabels" = 1630
You'll get the labels selected and You can then use the 'Map Map to Selection' button.
@geom's answer is great but if you are using QGIS 3 and above you can use the simpler 'Select by Value' instead of 'Select by Expression'.
Simply put the value in the field that has the data you are interested in here I am using the "FID" field.
