I need to be able to save to a text file the results of a search. I have done the following:

START
Search
For Files or Folders
Entered the parameters
Clicked Search Now

The results are hundreds of files (as expected). I now want to save the results that are in the Search Results Pane so that I can include them in a Word document or edit them or do what ever I want to do with them. I know how to save the search but not the results. Anyone have a clue?

Thanks, Glenda
 
Maybe this help...
At a dos prompt, do the following:

dir *.doc /s > report.txt

where *.doc is your search, /s search for subdirectory, and > report.txt save the result to this file
