Search locked to your original alligment

Is there any way for a rogue to search heroes? I hang around alot in Atlas with my rogue (as i still like to play villain side), but if someone asks a question and i would like to check his level, if he's a hero i cant find him on /sea.

Now with help channel being both-sided, why is the search still 'alligment' locked? Aka heroes that can search for villlains and visa versa?

or am i just mission some option?
