Hi;

Don't know of a way to save the full results (size, date, etc.) but you can
save the path/name results of the Search by installing the MS Powertoy
SendToX. If you don't already have it installed, you can grab it from here:

I'm afraid you will have to download the whole PowerToy set, but all you
want right now is to install the SendtoX one.

If you are not familiar with these PowerToys, I strongly recommend you read
the cautions and information MS MVP Jim Eshelman has made available on this
page: <a rel="nofollow" style='text-decoration: none;' href="http://aumha.org/a/powertoy.htm" target="_blank">http://aumha.org/a/powertoy.htm</a>

Now then, once you have SendToX installed, run your Search. Then from the
Edit pulldown menu click Select All; next move your mouse cursor to where it
hovers over the highlighted list of file names and right-click; select Send
To... and then select Clipboard as Name. You can then open your favorite
text editor (Notepad, for example) and paste the list of files into that
document.
