===== Explanation =====

This explains the functional steps within the sequence. For all the other XML details please refer to [[:macros:formats_and_syntax#xml_format|Formats and syntax]]

This macro simply calls the correct menu.

===== How to use it =====

  * [[:macros:deploying|make this macro available]]
  * Call it whenever you want another search in ShowLibrary. Effectively this is similar to ShowLibrary->(Context Menu)->Search - but this macro is much quicker.
