Seek Party Flag + /sea all command PLEASE!

I loved the Search function in FFXI and although it could have been a adjusted a little it worked very well. Why FFXIV didn't come with any search command out of the box is beyond comprehension. Its mostly like the dev team for FFXIV had never played another FF game and had no idea what one looked like.

I too would like a to see a /SEA <target> command. Very effective in finding lost things.

The full party search window helped to show everyone in the area and any one who had a party seak flag. Made asking them to join very easy. Of course there was always some one who ignored the flags and asked every one win a certain level and class if they wanted to join. Those players were irritatingly ignorant annoyances. There's a reason why There's a a flag! Use it and stop annoying every one else!!

It actually did - we had the /sea all command but it was taken back out of the game within a month. Best guess back then was that it was because they wanted to hide the population.

It does need to come back in order for people to build meaningful parties. I looked at the interface for trying to group and within a few minutes was disgusted with it. It's too complicated and there are more clicks than needed. No one is going to use it.
