The Item Search Feature
The item search allows players to scan all retainer bazaars within an entire market to discover how many of a designated item are currently being sold. The retainers returned in the search results will all be marked with a icon by their display name to easily distinguish them on-screen.

Using the Item Search
■Step 1
Item searches can be conducted at the entryway to any market or market area, * or by speaking to certain NPCs found just outside market entrances.
* Market areas are referred to as wards in Limsa Lominsa, rows in Ul'dah, and dens in Gridania.
■Step 2
Select the area that contains the item type being searched for.
■Step 3
Each market area is associated with certain item types. * Select the item type being searched for.
* See a complete list of market areas and associated item types.
■Step 4
A list is displayed showing the names and number of items on sale that belong to the item type being searched in all retainer bazaars in that market.
* Searches will return only those items on sale in the market area associated with that item's type. Items being sold in areas not matching their item type will not be displayed in the search results.
■Step 5
Select the desired item from the list of search results.
■Step 6
All retainers selling the selected item will have an icon placed next to their display name, making them easy to find. In addition, they will appear on the minimap as red dots.
* Icons will not be displayed if the Name Display option under main menu » Configuration is turned off.
* Item search histories will be saved until a player logs out of the game. Current item searches can be viewed or reset at the entryway to any market or market area, or by speaking to certain NPCs found just outside market entrances.
