Excellent. I just tried the Open in Excel button with latest version. Thank you so much.
Is it possible to get the highlighted columns(which column has the search text) in excel as well similar to results on the tool?

Hey Vijaya, actually was easier than I thought to add this. I put up a version last night with an 'Open in Excel' button if you want to give it a try and let me know.

This is awesome tool.
Is there a way to export the search results?

Hey Vijaya. Thanks for the feedback! Appreciate it. There's not a way to export today, but I've been looking for ideas for improvements and it's a great idea and wouldn't be too difficult to add. Look out for an update soon :)

As a follow up, in the meantime, Vijaya you can select the data in the results tables and copy and paste the results into excel today.

The Universal Search just helped me fix 3 issues! This is great for searching by a GUID to find related records! Thanks!
