There is no separation for what the player is looking for party for, and it's hardly reasonable to expect the party leader to read every search comment and send a tell to every player that is LFP.
This is why shouting is currently the most efficient way to form a group. Until we have a way for people to flag themselves as searching for single (or multiple) forms of content, the LFP feature is useless.
That's what the recruiting system people were ignoring in 1.0 was for, actually. Except as I said above, the leader just put up a party recruitment entry for a specific content and people could just join if they met the criteria. It's actually very convenient, so let's hope they implement it soon and people actually use it

The only thing I can think of is to group with people on the same server which is good but not worth extra time personally. Duty finder is faster and why I don't use the player search tool.
Some content is not in the duty finder though. Coil, FATEs (the fact it was supposed to be party-less aside), Chimera, Hydra, did I miss something else?
