This plugin provides a straightforward way to embed a functional library catalog search box directly into the pages of a website. It is designed for libraries, educational institutions, or any organization that needs to integrate their catalog search without complex coding. The tool uses a simple shortcode for placement, making it accessible for site administrators who manage content.

• Shortcode Integration: Use the [lmcsearchbox] shortcode to place the search form in any post, page, or widget area, requiring no manual HTML editing.
• Configurable Search Tabs: The plugin dynamically sets the search context before form submission, allowing searches to default to specific catalog sections like books, articles, or course reserves.
• Vendor-Based Code: The core functionality is built upon reliable code provided by the library management system vendor, ensuring compatibility with existing catalog infrastructure.
• Lightweight Implementation: It adds a single, focused feature without bloating the website, maintaining performance and ease of management.
