Search Window

This window can be opened either by pressing the "Find Member" button in the Team Window when not on a team, or by typing the "/search" command in the chat line.

In this window, you will be able to select from several options to specify what type of team members you are looking for. You can search for specific archetypes, origins, maps, character levels, and team preferences. When you have set your preferences, hitting the "Search" button will display a list of all visible characters that currently match your specified criteria. Characters with text displayed in gray are already on teams. Those with names displayed in blue are currently solo. You may right click on these names to send tells to the characters or invite them to a team.
