Export in Search View

In Remote Search View you can export the result to a file and there are columns showing information about found members.
The same functionality would be nice for a loacal file search where the result view is very simpel. No columns and no export.

    Thank you for taking the time to suggest an enhancement to our product. Many of our product enhancements result from feedback from our customers, so your input is always very important to us. Your request is currently in line with our product strategy and we added it as a candidate for future releases of the product. Thank you for your suggestion and continued support.
