[dev1213] Player Search

* This feature, planned for patch 1.20, is still in development, and therefore subject to change.

• The Player Search feature will be introduced in patch 1.20, and will function as follows:
  
  ≪Search≫
  You will be able to search for other players by specifying online status, class(*1), level, location (area), Grand Company, and language(*2) search conditions.
  *1. If a player’s online status is set to “Seeking a Party,” the feature will search by preferred class.
  *2. The default language will be the same as that set under FINAL FANTASY XIV Config.
  
  
  
  * By default, only players within five levels of your current class level in a given area will be included in the search.
  
  ≪Search Results≫
  
  • The search results will display each player’s online status, name, current class, preferred class, location, Grand Company, and language.
    
    
    
    
  • Player Details
    Selecting a player from the search results will allow you to send a Tell, invite that player to your party, and view the following information:
    
    • Name
      
    • Language
      
    • Location
      
    • Online Status
      
    • Preferred Class and Level
      
    • Search Comment
      
    • Levels for each class
      * The icon for the current class will be a different color.
      
    • Grand Company
