loadsearch vs. searchtemplate()

[autocart]

Hi all,

am I missing a point? Why are there two commands dealing with the search templates?
It seems that searchtemplate() can do everything that loadsearch can do, but on top of it, it can also save a search template.

So, is there an important reason for this that I am missing?
Should we not use loadsearch or something?

Hmmm, good question There is indeed a significant overlap. Nobody noticed it until you came along. Can't do anything about it (without breaking old code), so we have to live with it.

Ok, thanks for letting me know.
Now I know that I am not overlooking anything.
