So, I have recently started playing again, but I am been stumped.
I have a friend who also plays, but I cannot find out how to actually find him lol.

Does FF14 have a /search function like FFXI where I can just search for him and see where he is and /tell him easily?

Do I have to type the entire name to find him, or can I type like the first 3 letters and everyone who has a name that starts with those first 3 is shown in a list?

Any help is appreciated!
