FFXI is based all around looking for people to party with, inviting people, joining up, killing stuff. FFXIV has a horrible search function they really need to make it better and easier.
Allow people to lfg on multiple classes, allow people to invite to linkshells or groups from the search menu, allow to check peoples locations, what classes they are on, ect.
/sea all and LFG flag was wicked :D
I also don't understand why I can't flag myself as "willing to join a PT".
This has to be done asap.

No result!!
all the time
They should add an icon atop the head beside the name in order to know who is willing to join a party. It is allways so hard to find team members.
yes i completely agree, they need to add this.
Technically, there is a party search function. The problem is that very few people use it. I don't think there is a need to show a flag over my head but I do agree with the original post that this needs attention. I think the one already in game is good but it lacks the ability to select a more general option for those just ranking up. At the moment there are only options for doing guildleves, questing, etc...
I'm not sure that is the solution but it is something that keeps me from using the search function more.
There is no point to wait and search when people just complete LEVES on their own within 5 min.
Why brother sitting around?
i feel more confident on a extension of the actual LFG tool, if just more people would use it.
Also, for general grind you could just write it in the comment, and maybe in english <_<
The player search function in FFXI was absolute perfection. It did the job it was intended to do. The system in FFXIV however, doesn't work. Please I'm with everyone on this one. Bring back FFXI's player search engine; including text commands for "/sea [area] <name> <class> <rank range>".

Yeap they need to add this. Finding party members sucks :(
/sea :D yes pls!
I miss the ability to add a search comment (サーチコメ） to my character very much. It was very useful in Final Fantasy XI, and not many MMORPGs have copied that wonderful idea. People used them for many, many different things, such as leaving AFK messages and event messages, finding items, lot-related memory aids and so on.
Bazaar comments were also very nice.
I don't know why this isn't a top priority fix. Having a non-existent search function is the one big reason why this game is no fun for me, and players from small linkshells.
I think a large chunk of the player base is playing this "MMO" solo, and it's really taking the fun away after a while.
Agreed... Been asking for this since October... they never mention it happening. Why I barely play.
THIS! I hate looking for party in this game. You have two options: put up a bulletin that you are looking for party and have random people join you, or spam the search option and get the same lame advertisements for LS membership for hours.
FFXI really did this well with a LFP flag that allowed you to go about your business until invited, or search through a list of people who wanted to party and pick and choose your setup. I really hope the party search function gets an overhaul and becomes something more akin to the FFXI version.
SE Please Add a Search Function similar to FFXI. Improvements to the FFXI search function would also be welcome in FFXIV.
