I have a script that uses the methods:

this.getPageNthWord and this.getPageNumWords, I have it search the whole page for a zip code and then hold that value, is it possible to define a smaller area than the whole page for the script to search?

Yes, this can be done by cropping down your page to your target area. The problem is reversing the crop after you are done - it's not as straight forward as one would wish. Take a look here for information about how to do that:

It's possible to do it using the getPageNthWordQuads, but it's not a simple

task and it will probably just involve more calculations than what you

already have, as you'll need to look at the coordinates of each word and

compare them to your desired search area, before looking at its contents...
