I found this small lisp routine at the AutoDesk Discussion Forums.  It was submitted by leprofca on 03-22-2007.  I have not used it so I cannot tell you if it works or not.
 
(defun C:HANDLE ( / handle ent )
(setq handle (getstring "\nEnter handle to search for: "))
(setq ent (handent handle))
(if ent
(progn ;line added
(sssetfirst nil (ssadd ent))
(command "_zoom" "_Object");line added
);line added
;Else
(ALERT "The handle you entered does not exist in this drawing!")
)
(princ)
)
