The Bridge : Postal extension includes many sample functions to show you how to use the asset but to learn how to use the search features of WordPress you will have to learn that from the WordPress website itself since there is a lot to learn and many examples to help you understand it all, not to mention it is forever being kept up to date. To learn how to use Bridge :Postal, consider this the official documentation: https://codex.wordpress.org/Class_Reference/WP_Query

As for some samples of how easy I have made it to use, have a look at some of the code from the demo script included in the project:

    void FindPostByID()

    {

        WUPostalQuery query = new WUPostalQuery();

        query.PostBasics.SpecifyPostId( 7 );

        WUPostal.FetchPosts( query.QueryString, PrintResponse, OnError );

    }



    void FindPostBySlug()

    {

        WUPostalQuery query = new WUPostalQuery();

        query.PostBasics.SpecifyPostName( \"about-my-life\" );

        //or query.PostBasics.SpecifyPageName( \"about-my-life\" );

        WUPostal.FetchPosts( query.QueryString, PrintResponse, OnError );

    }



   void OneAuthorByID(int id=123)

    {

        WUPostalQuery query = new WUPostalQuery();

        query.Author.AddId( id );

        WUPostal.FetchPosts( query.QueryString, PrintResponse );

    }



    void OneAuthorByNiceName( string name=\"rami\")

    {

        WUPostalQuery query = new WUPostalQuery();

        query.Author.AddNiceName( name );

        WUPostal.FetchPosts( query.QueryString, PrintResponse, OnError );

    }



    void MultipleSpecificAuthorsByID()

    {

        WUPostalQuery query = new WUPostalQuery();

        query.Author.AddIds( new int [] { 2, 6, 17, 38 } );

        WUPostal.FetchPosts( query.QueryString, PrintResponse, OnError );

    }



    void MultipleSpecificAuthorsByNiceName()

    {

        WUPostalQuery query = new WUPostalQuery();

        query.Author.AddNiceName( \"laurel\" );

        query.Author.AddNiceName( \"hardy\" );

        WUPostal.FetchPosts( query.QueryString, PrintResponse, OnError );

    }



    void AllExcludingOneAuthor()

    {

        WUPostalQuery query = new WUPostalQuery();

        query.Author.Exclude( 12 );

        WUPostal.FetchPosts( query.QueryString, PrintResponse, OnError );

    }



    void AllExcludingSpecificAuthors()

    {

        WUPostalQuery query = new WUPostalQuery();

        query.Author.ExcludeMultiple( new int [] { 2, 6, 17, 38 } );

        WUPostal.FetchPosts( query.QueryString, PrintResponse, OnError );

    }

See exactly what you get before you decide to get it. Note that because the WP_Query object is a beast of a class it stands to reason that the function list might make this asset seem daunting. Once you see the sample code, though, you will be blown away by how easy the Bridge : Postal makes it to build your custom queries and get just what you want from your website.
