I, too, was hoping that this article would show me a way to save ***all of the results*** from a Windows search. If I have a search that produces over 100 results, it would be tremendously helpful to be able to save a list of these results. I guess I should have noticed that neither the word “result” nor the word “file” was ever pluralized in the title or introduction–and I already know how to save a single file to my desktop. It would be wonderful to be able to save the list of files that a search generates (usually more than one), but I’m not having much luck in finding this function. Back to DOS, I guess…
I want to save the search results, not the criteria.
By saving the criteria, I lost the results, which took a long time to generate.
Can I also search the search results for a specific string?
When the list is very long it would be fine.
In other words, is the saved search result accessible with a text editor?
I’m afraid not!
And the other question: can I search contents of files with a specific extention only?
Thanks
Very useful, thank you!!
