I need to save the results of searches, not just the queries

[Guest]

Hello all.

I am trying to check on the status of certain files twice per week. However,
While I can save the queries, I don't know how to save the list of files and
folders that may be generated by the query. Is there some kind of log or
temporary file created that has these results and displays them in search
companion?
Regardless of how WIndows creates the search results, if there is a way to
save the filename, path and other info to a .txt or .csv (even better!) that
would be a big help when I try to make comparisons.

Thanks in advance for any help you may provide.

One way:
(in cmd)>dir C:\yourmask*.* /S /A:-D > reslist.txt
/S Displays files in specified directory and all subdirectories.
/A Displays files with specified attributes.
attributes D Directories R Read-only files
H Hidden files A Files ready for archiving
S System files - Prefix meaning not

But You can use commands such as "dir disk:\yourmask > serch_results.txt"
in batch files and in scheduled tasks...

Yes. That will work also. Not many would like to use the Command Prompt to perform a search. The links I posted describe how to capture the Search companion output to a file.
