How to export search results

You can export search results to a CSV file by pressing the 'Export results' button in the Actions menu above the search results.

For versions before 5.8, the 'Export Results' action is only available in the legacy UI. For versions before 4.0, view the legacy docs at sourcegraph/sourcegraph-search-export.

FAQs

The exported results do not match the results page

Before Sourcegraph 4.4.0, the search result export feature used the GraphQL API with result limits for fast resolution. Add count:all to your query to run an exhaustive search.

The number of exported results does not match the number of results displayed on Sourcegraph

This is expected, as all instances that match for a single file will be listed in the same entry column under the Search matches row.

Network Error when downloading CSV

Check the browser's dev tools network tab for more details on the specific network error. The CSV file likely exceeds the browser's limit for data URI size. You can limit the size of search results exported with the count: filter in the search query.
