Using the "Who" window to efficiently sort for level/class

This is very useful information on new players on how to use the /who efficiently on Nostalrius.

Howdy,

I often use the "Who" window to draft my dungeon groups. However, my knowledge of its functionality is incredibly simple. I know I can search names & zones. My typical strategy is to search zones where people of the appropriate level range may be, sorting the list by level, and sending appropriate people a PM asking if they'd be interested in a dungeon. However, I believe that more advanced functionality may exist. Like the ability to search for specific zones, level ranges, and classes all at once.

Something like:
Say I'm a level 20 mage interested in a WC run...
I open "Who", search: Barrens 18-23
I whisper everyone in that list: "Interested in a WC?"

Now say we have 4 people, but need a healer...
I open "Who", search: Barrens 18-23 Priest, Druid, Shaman
I whisper everyone in that list: "Interested in healing a WC? Got a group ready to go."


If this functionality exists, I'd appreciate some advice on how to use it or direction towards a guide/explanation. Thanks!

PS. Bonus points if there's an addon that already does this and can auto whisper everyone in the list so I don't have to click 50 names by hand. I suspect this functionality exists or those Gold Bots have a pretty laborious task.

/who z-strangletho
/who n-xiao
/who 15-40
(that's level range)
/who c-druid

You can line them up, say...

/who 60 z-basin n-xiao c-warrior

will list all warriors with "xiao" in their name currently playing Arathi Basin at lvl 60 bracket.

You can sum them, too!
Try:
/who z-orgrimmar c-druid
/who z-orgrimmar c-priest


then: /who z-orgrimmar c-druid c-priest, you'll get both results combined

In your example (searching WC group) you can go like:

/who z-the barrens c-druid c-shaman c-priest 18-24

Should list all healers in the zone.

Exactly what I was looking for, thanks so much!
