MCS: New 'Inter-Book Search Query' Example

As I know we all have many other important things to do, this is not what I must have. But if you find it useful for others and consider to add this functionality in the future relases, it would be great.
Many thanx for your time and helping hand.

@enkirkby:

Please review the attached image, and tell me whether or not this is exactly what you were looking for.

Note the new "Inter-Book Search" checkbox.

"Inter-Book" means "Cross-Book" or "Across All Other Books" in this specific context.

The current (original) version of MCS implicitly does only "intra-book" searches, meaning that it compares a single book's columns directly to each other. It processes a single book at a time, then moves on to the next book.

The upcoming release will default to intra-book searches, changing to inter-book searches only when the new checkbox is checked.

When the checkbox is checked, the MCS Search Dialog automatically reconfigures itself (slightly) for inter-book searches. You will notice the descriptions in blue are different than for intra-book searches, because the interpretation of those fields changes when inter-book searches are desired.
