Suggestion: Search function expansion

[Xaddy]

So, I see Okie broadcasting for a hami raid while I'm on a Praetorian. 
As you might imagine, hami raids are fairly popular. Since I have to alt out, I know it's going to be about 45 seconds before I can get back on and make my way to the Abyss. But, if there's already 40 folks in the Abyss, I know I don't need to bother. It will be full before I get there most likely. 

So, I do a search on my new gold-sider. 
This is what I see: 

 

 

I know some folks immerse themselves into this world and would be oblivious of Hami-Os, and reward merits and such. But...I'm still a person who controls (or likes to think they do) multiple characters. Just not all at the same time. It would be useful if a gold-sider can see what's going on in RWZ as an MSR is recruited for, the Abyss or the Hive as the calls go out for those as well. 

I know it's a simple thing to switch out, and then switch back in if there's no room, but it would be great if I could just check without alting. 

Thanks.

The in game search function isn't designed to show which players or how many players are in a zone. It's meant to show who is seeking recruitment for a team or specific type content. It doesn't show players who are in a zone who are not seeking a team or are hidden from the search function. It's strictly for searching for teammates.

 

Edit: I'll add that your suggestion is for making the search do something different than it's purpose. I would prefer it's not tied to the search function. Perhaps something like the /whoall slash command, but it only shows player count instead of names and includes hidden players and is not dependent on the player being in the zone to work.

also iirc (which is debatable) 

the search function is specific to the faction you are affiliated with

it works best as a hero since the hero population is highest amongst the 3 factions

with yellow/gold having the fewest members
