That doesn't make any sense. An icon directly over a person's head is much more evident than having to open menus to check someone's search info. Not only that but it will also be searchable through the Player Search function, whereas the search info isn't.

And personally, I would be even more likely to check someone's search info if I found someone with the RP icon on their head.
