Yup, that's it! I had different shortcuts set up for SL searches. When I restored them to what you specified, your new macro worked!. The key issue seems to be that the default for a Finder SL search in HS is option-cmd-space, not ctrl-space:
You are right. I do apologize. The macro worked only one time for me. The macro opened my Finder and typed slowly my text on the search bar, but after that, it doesn't run.

macOS 10.13.3
This could be an issue with High Sierra. I think KM 7.3.1 is OK.
It still runs fine for me in Keyboard Maestro 8.2.2 on macOS 10.12.6.
I have no way of debugging for 10.13, since I don't have access to a machine running that.
