Insert TypoScript Object into HMENU - typo3

Question

TYPO3 v 7.6.13
Indexed_search 7.6.0
I’m generating a typical drop menu using TYPOScript.
And I’m appending a list item at the end that contains a drop menu for a search box.
I’m using indexed_search and I have a separate Typoscript Oject setup called lib.search.
In my typoscript that generates my drop down menu, how can I reference / insert lib.search and have it inserted into my drop down menu.
This is my search TS,
lib.mainNavi = HMENU
lib.mainNavi.wrap (
<div class="navbar navbar_custom" role="navigation" aria-label="Main Navigation">
    <div class="navbar-header">
      <button type="button" class="navbar-toggle collapsed" data-toggle="collapse" data-target="#navbar-collapse">
        <span class="sr-only">Toggle navigation</span>
        <span class="icon-bar"></span>
        <span class="icon-bar"></span>
        <span class="icon-bar"></span>
      </button>
 <a class="navbar-brand" href="#">My Site</a>
    </div>
    <div class="collapse navbar-collapse" id="navbar-collapse">
<ul class="nav navbar-nav">|<li class="dropdown"><ul class="dropdown-menu col-md-12 col-xs-12 dropdown_grd"><li>
    <input type="text" class="searchText" placeholder="Search for..."/>
    <input type="button" class="searchButton" id="navSearchButton"/>
**search TSO goes here{lib.searchheader}**
</li></ul></li></ul>
    </div><!-- /.navbar-collapse -->
</div>
  )
And this is the TS that generates my search box.
lib.searchheader = COA_INT
lib.searchheader {
  10 = TEXT
  10.typolink.parameter = {$plugin.tx_indexedsearch.searchUID}
  10.typolink.returnLast = url
  10.wrap = <ul><li>|</li></ul>
}
When I reference lib.search I only get text when the page is rendered:
{lib.searchheader}

if you want another TS-object to be inserted at a special position, enable your TS to insert something there.
Either you use a wrap or you can use a COA.
in your example the wrap is way to big and you can't wrap two different contents. so my attempt would be to split up your wrap in a COA:
lib.mainNavi = COA
lib.mainNavi {
wrap = <div class="navbar navbar_custom" role="navigation" aria-label="Main Navigation"> | </div>
// intro
10 = TEXT
10.value (
<div class="navbar-header">
<button type="button" class="navbar-toggle collapsed" data-toggle="collapse" data-target="#navbar-collapse">
<span class="sr-only">Toggle navigation</span>
<span class="icon-bar"></span>
<span class="icon-bar"></span>
<span class="icon-bar"></span>
</button>
<a class="navbar-brand" href="#">My Site</a>
</div>
)
//outer-wrap of menu
20 = COA
20 {
wrap (
<div class="collapse navbar-collapse" id="navbar-collapse">
<ul class="nav navbar-nav">
|
</ul>
</div><!-- /.navbar-collapse -->
)
// the real menu
10 = HMENU
10 {
:
}
// additional search entry:
20 = COA
20 {
wrap (
<li class="dropdown">
<ul class="dropdown-menu col-md-12 col-xs-12 dropdown_grd">
<li>
<input type="text" class="searchText" placeholder="Search for..."/>
<input type="button" class="searchButton" id="navSearchButton"/>
|
</li>
</ul>
</li>
)
10 < lib.searchheader
}
}
}
And be careful mixing USER and USER_INT objects. (never cascade USER_INT inside USER_INT)
Those uncached objects are stored with a placeholder similar to a fluid-variable with a hash-name. They will be evaluted/resolved at run time.
are you sure your lib.searchheader needs to be an COA_INT?
