There is a quite useful (IMO) option to copy selected results as a CSV file to the clipboard by using a keyboard shortcut.
This can be found under Menu:Tools > Options > General > Keyboard: Result List | Copy as CSV

Suggestion is to add this Copy as CSV to the Context Menu, so that it can be shown with a right-click on the selection (configurable; just like the other context menu entries).

Added to my TODO list.

When I pasted it into Excel, I got the whole text in one column, instead of a table structure.
To fix it I used:
1. "Paste Options" pop-up button, is available when you paste. Click on it, and choose "Use Import Text Wizard"
Another option:
2. Select the text you pasted. and then Menu: Data > Text to Columns...

If someone still need help --> youtube.

Excel expects TABs when pasting CSV from the clipboard.

I'll add an option to use TABs instead of commas.
However, this option will likely default to commas.

Or, I'll add a Copy as CSV (Tab Delimited) action..

I think Excel remembers the import delimiter settings (Libre Office does)
So it's a onetime Excel setting to make.

I am afraid it's not true. At least in Excel 2003.

Never choose copy because it will take too much RAM and the application will stop responding... or Out Of Memory, Overflow etc.

The (selected) results don't have to be "all items".

Everything is currently setting the ANSI and UNICODE clipboard formats.

I've modified the next version of Everything to only set the UNICODE clipboard format.
This will save about 1/3 of the memory needed to copy to the clipboard as CSV.
