As title states. I am looking for a wallet from a guy, and i only have lets say the first 5 cyphers/letters, and the last 5. Is there any index which lists these adresses or something like that?

The adress has balance in it.

I'd figure that there might be a tool for that which does these things?

Finding for example all the adresses with those first 5 letters, and then show the balance of those?

I also know the exact time of the TX being broadcasted, if that helps anything.
How do i look this up? Thanks.

For example this one,

August 16th, 12:34 PM, First 5 numbers are 18UNFu********wZpF6KY

If I am not mistaken there is a website that holds information the transactions, confirmations and respective involved addresses but I don't recall the url.

What I would suggest you to do if you have part of the sff address, is to open up Google and do a query if the two parts of the address surrounded by quotes, like the exanple:
"XXXXX" "YYYYY"

XXXXX would be the first part of the address you know and YYYYY the second one.

This guarantees that Google looks only for pages that contain exactly those parts of information, and that could result in the address you are looking for.

i think even if you've searched for some combinations and found out some addresses that have the same partial numbers like your own, you cant easily figure out the same address because there are a lot of combinations and if you are going to try them all it won't be easy. For what i'm seeing here youre missing 8 characters and finding exactly what you are looking for is not an easy feat in my opinion.

Yeah, i was hoping that there was such a site for that / database.
I know blockchain in itself is basically an open ledger, but without the right tools it's still a pain in the ass. 

isn't there such a site which shows you all the adresses in recent blocks for example? It seems to me that this could be of really good use for a lot of people.

I feel like this might be a hole in the market. might make a site which can forfill these things i am looking for.
