Busco a alguien que habla inglés (I may not know who that is but It is my understanding such person exists; or maybe I know them but I didn't catch their name)

Busco alguien que hable inglés (I don't know that person; I don't even know if such a person exists)

Busco un lugar donde se pueda hacer un pícnic.
Busco el lugar donde se puede hacer un pícnic.

Por favor, indíqueme si hay un lugar donde se pueda hacer un pícnic.
Por favor, indíqueme cómo llegar a uno de los lugares donde se puede hacer un pícnic.

No creo que sea importante
I don't think it's important

Creo que no es importante
I think it is unimportant

Again, the notion is/isn't in the speaker's mind

Outlier:

No creo que es importante
I don't believe those who say it is important. I don't believe it to be important.

On the other hand, all the sentences with esperar in the subjunctive are formed with que. I would appreciate it if you could advise on the accepted norm.

Que is a conjunction that belongs to the text bit that follows It and announces it's something that should be considered a unity with a special role in the sentence.

I always compare It to changing gears in old automobiles using the clutch pedal. Que is the pedal. It softens the change and avoid those horrible noises of gear teeth reaching a breaking point.

Suposse I say

Quiero vengas.

It's difficult to parse as everything colides, but que lubricantes the sentence and allows to parse it easily

Quiero que vengas.

That said, it may be suppressed colloquially no matter what mood is involved:

No me digas vas a entregar eso así ¡Es un mamarracho!

Te pido te comportes como un caballero.

Confío te dieron tu merecido.

Ningún mal dura cien años, pero ciertos males tiñen canas ( hay and que suppressed)

Dear aleCcowaN,
When I was writing down the examples, I never expected the topic to be so deep. It will take me days to digest the knowledge that you so generously have shared with me.

Thank you again!
