The rest of the time, the client software doesn't know what our retainers have. Nor does the server we're directly connected to, which hosts the local part of Eorzea that we're in. The world server will query the database server on our behalf when we ask it to, but neither it nor our client keeps that data in memory.)
    /itemsearch works mid disconnect. So it can't be fetching data from the servers.

    There are two files stored w/ your profile. ITEMFDR.DAT and ITEMODR.DAT. Combined, they are 20k. Do you really think that a player's inventory, armoury, and retainer inventories takes up much memory at all? All in total you may hold less than 2000 items across all possible inventory slots.
