I noticed a while back that in the player search window there is an option to search for people who have "Looking for party" up, but each time I ever searched for those, literally nothing has ever shown.

I wonder if you turn on LFP does it actually put a flag by your name to?

I just think that's one feature that literally never gets used in this game, and I miss seeing all the people who had there LFP flags up back in ffxi, but sadly everything's automatic in ffxiv.
