Nobody uses the search function still?

This. Being able to call it up quickly with text commands would cause it to be used more.

It's not that people don't know how to use it, it's that it's not as... snappy as it should be.

How many times did you call up the search function from the menu in FFXI, versus doing /sea all MNK. The beauty of the FFXI search function was how you could easily search for anything with a text command:

/sea all GAL PUP 99 Tah (Player names beginning with 'tah')
/sea region TAR BLM 75-99 Bastok
/sea Jugner HUM 60 ballista

But you can do sea all with the search function.....
