Notes

  • After performing a search, it is possible to refine the search results by selecting "more..." (the first line of the Search Results dialog). This process must be done through the menus.
  • Search subcommands for races, job, or nation may be made using the abbreviated form.
    • Area names may be abbreviated with the shortname of a zone. A partial list is given below.
  • You may only perform area-specific searches in areas where your character has previously visited.
    • You may do a region-specific search which include players from areas you have not visited.
  • Performing searches for battlefield and instanced zones from outside of those zones does not return a result.
  • Level and rank ranges can either be done singular or for a range of numbers. For Example: /search all rank 7, /search all invite 55-75.
  • Searching for a particular name will also display characters whose name begins with your query.
  • The colour of a character's name indicates their party status: yellow indicates they are a party or alliance leader; blue indicates they are a member of a party; grey/white indicates they are not a member of a party.
  • Searches that return a large amount results will have their search results truncated. The exact number shown out of how many were truncated will be displayed in your chat log. It is not possible to display the truncated hits directly; instead you can refine your search further using the above method or start a new search with different parameters.
