    How do you guys even search map location in game?

    "The herb is said to grow around the Matron's Lethe."

    Without using google, how the hell would I know where is Matron's Lethe?

    P.S Yes I know where it is. But how would I have known?

    This. Open map, read location names.

    Most of the time for quests they actually have a map button in the journal. If you press it, it goes to the correct zone and the right general area.

    Nope. Not this one.
    It is not in the description nor the map. That is usually how crafting quests are. The markers are the NPC you submit the quests to, not the location you gather from.
    I do notice most of the time it is mentioned in the journal description. This particular entry and a few others do not have it. Anyone who has this quest active can prove me wrong.

    Which quest is it? Botany? If so, you'd use your gathering log and gathering-point-detection skill to track down the location.

    You have a gathering log that lists both the zone you can find the item in, and the name of the subregion within the zone as well. The zone map will show the names of both subregions and landmarks if you aren't zoomed out too far.

    There might not be a usable quest marker for the quest, but "Matron's Lethe" is named on the map so you can certainly find it just by looking at the map.
    Your gathering log will also list the general region where the material you are after can be found.

    Use the big square map - 'M' key on the keyboard. The small mini-map won't until you get close.
    Once the map is open you have to zoom in far enough for the location names to appear.
    An example : http://www.ffxivinfo.com/maps/central-shroud.php
    On this map, approx centered left/right , 1/3 way down from the top, there is "The Matron's Lethe". NW of Bentbranch Meadows.

    Also you have a gatherer's log book. You can type in the node you are looking for there and it will tell you name of the location and has a map that points you to a more precise location.
