For the New FLP Player, FLP Settings can be over liberal with relax and search actions at default, from the very start.
Many Members that use FLP as with myself, do ask new Members to tone the FLP default settings down, by:
MCM FLP/Settings/ [Presets] to -Passive-

With { Passive }, Average, Agressive or Default Presets:
Once the new FLP Member also understands that the Players equipable and assignable
[FLP-Stop Search] Inventory Token, when used as a ring will turn -off- FLP Searching and Gathering.
This [FLP-Stop search] can also be expanded on within MCM.

When we want them to resume Gathering - unequipt the [FLP-Stop Search] inventory Token.
Drawing weapon usually will interrupt searching.
Setting of distance: Close, Med or Far, also sets there sandboxing range.
When in any Town with [ Act Separately ] -ON- Followers will wander around the Town and transact. 
After knowimg this, go ahead and experament with FLP settings.

In summary: Once those -few- Settings achieved and the Inventory [FLP-Stop Search] Token equipped - Our FLP Followers will not run about "Searching" nearly as much.
