People need to understand XI's party search, the original XIV search, and the new one all work just as good.

IF PEOPLE REFUSE TO USE IT, IT WILL NOT WORK. This is a playerbase issue...until the playerbase wises up no search will ever be functional. Even the easiest search ever, WoW's dungeon finder would fail hardcore if no one qued up.

And the server search is world wide, do not know where this region specific thing is coming from. Atm at ifrit spot, and I have searched and came up with glads in Mordona, West Shroud, Nanawa mines, Uldah, Limsa, Gridania, and Corethas
