Improve "Community Search" on the website

[Aurhyn]

Hello,

Since several months already the "Community search" is locked on the server our chosen character is.
So let's suppose I want to look for some information about a character, since my character is on Balmung, it will only look for characters on Balmung.



Plus, as you can see here, there is no advances option so we can choose another server instead of our main server. Knowing that we're now often in duty with people from our Data Center, I find myself often looking for people and not finding them.

To find someone on another server so I have to:
- Write the character name on the search.
- Click on the little arrow next to the character to "see more"



- Click on the magnifier on the top right



- To FINALLY be able to change the server



I think there is a necessary change here :
- Switch from server search to Data Center search.
- Maybe add in the options the possibility to change the search between Server, Data Center and All.

You can do that already. That same location you chose (where your server is at) click that open the menu, scroll up and literally under Data Center, click Aether, and you will be able to search all players with the name you placed (or few letters as that works too)

I agree with you but it's not what my request is about.
My request is to always take in account the data center or all worlds instead of your character's world only (after all the duty finder is Data Center based now). Or to offer the advanced options right away like it was before instead of needing to do your research > click on the arrow > click on the magnifier > finally change the server.

As it is, it goes faster to do a google search rather than using the in build lodestone search.

Just to make sure, you want it to just automatically be on the data center instead of you having to manually switch it yourself?

if that is the case (facepalm)
