 * Hello,
 * Thank you for such a great plugin. Do you have a prebuilt function that can sort
   through the list of shortcodes I have created? I am trying to create a small 
   code that searches through them to find a specific shortcode to call. Thanks 
   again for an awesome plugin, it has really saved me a ton of time!

 * I created a shortcode called `[list_all_shortcodes]`
 * Place this in the ‘PHP Code’ box:
 *     ```
       global $shortcode_tags;
       echo "<table><tr><th>shortcode</th><th>calls</th>";
       foreach($shortcode_tags  as $key => $value) {
         echo "<tr><td>$key</td><td>$value</td></tr>\n";
       }
   
       echo "</table>";
       ```
   
 * It prints ‘Array’ for some shortcodes, including those created by Shortcodes 
   UI. For more info, or to expand the info that can be returned, see [http://codex.wordpress.org/Shortcode_API](http://codex.wordpress.org/Shortcode_API)
