I propose a system to enhance /search's usefulness. As the system currently works, one can only broadcast themselves as the character they are logged in as. However, someone might be willing to play on a different toon they have that might be in an entirely different level range.
Ex. 1: A guy named Guy has a level 7 corrupter he does not want to level solo, nor does he feel like staying logged in as that character until he finds a team. Guy would rather spend time that could be put to productive use by doing some tips on his level 40 or 50 toon. Guy cannot let /search know that his level 7 corrupter is "LF Any" or "LF Missions" while he is on those toons though.
And now I get to the proposed solution. A player could be given the option to put several of his toons up in /search while logged in as he or she so chooses. Perhaps there would be a cap on how many could be broadcasted at once, say three toons. People looking for team members via /search would be able to see all the toons one was broadcasting via /search.
Ex. 2: Guy would like to do the WST on his level 50 toon, so he leaves his status on the level 50 to "LF Strike Force." Guy would like to do anything to level up his level 7 and 40 so he sets both their status to "LF Any." Guy does not want to broadcast his level 30's LFT status as that toon is just his bank / marketer.
Optionally, a system could be put in place that if one were to be invited to join a group as a different toon than that player is currently on, a camp-and-be-invited mechanic could be used should the player accept.
Ex. 3: Guy has just finished the WST on his 50 when he gets a tell from a lowbie team requesting his level 7 to join it. Guy accepts and the logout process starts. After 30 seconds, Guy is logged out and back onto his level 7 toon; automatically, he is placed into the team that invited him.

Like #3 , not sure if it could work but that a great idea
