Possible to copy paste search results beyond just links?

[TheAcception]

Hello, I’m curious to learn if I am missing something or is there a plug-in somewhere, i’ve looked and looked but I cannot find anything close to what I am seeking.

You know how if you search something it will give you back the results and then you can copy paste the results into a blank document but then all it gives you is a list of the links?

Is there a way instead where, let’s say I search a word and it gives me back seven different files where that word is found, instead of copy pasting the links and then me manually going into each one and then having to find where that word is again and then possibly extracting out that section for a side reason, sidestepping all this manual labor and being able to just copy paste over the actual complete section where that word is found, per document, into a new document?

Copy Search Results: Please add option to copy CONTEXT

Use case or problem The search pane has a great UI for including context (collapse, expand, show more). When we need to copy the results, all of that valuable context is stripped. [20210714-125342results] Proposed solution Please add the same controls that the search pane has for context to the Copy Search Results window. Or, give an option to match the information shown in the search pane. Example I accumulate numerous tags like #email/boss with a line of intended communication across so m…

Search: Copy context of search results and paste into note

Use case or problem Based on discussions on Discord and recent updates to Search (e.g., properties search), I recognize an on-going effort to improve Obsidian's core search feature, and there are plugins here and there which attempt to expand it to be more readable, operate as a modal, etc. But certain functions that increase the utility of other core features, such as Canvas, are desirable. Specifically, I want to be able to select multiple or all search results, i.e., their context: the line …

Inline Query Results: Please allow us to Select and Copy these as text or markdown

Use case or problem Inline search query is amazing! Not being able to select and copy the text results that show in Preview Mode is a significant handicap. Everything in Preview can be selected, except for this. [20210714-132559nocopy] Proposed solution Please let the text be blocked for copy if the mouse is dragged from white space across the text of interest. Example I accumulate numerous tags like #email/boss with a line of intended communication across so many notes. Copying search conte…

And a possible method using Templater and Dataview (I haven’t tried it yet, but plan to):

Return a string of text and the backlink via dataview

Now, not to pester OP or anyone else for their attention about yet more of the same, but – mainly for my own use cases to do with longform writing – I decided to make and share an upgrade of what came above, in the form of a Templater Js script with the DV query embedded, which lets the user interact with what they want output. It seems to be working well. <%* const currentFile = app.workspace.getActiveFile(); if (!currentFile) return; let folderRegex = /(.*)([/\\])/; // Default regex for ful…

Thanks for replying, The workaround section from the one example you provided “Alternative, you could click the ... menu option, “Copy search results”, [[ with ![[ so that the files are embedded in the note and the content is transcluded” worked like a charm, thank you so much!

Actually, I just realized there’s a problem. I wanted this so I could basically just copy paste over every single section that included the particular topic I was searching for in the search box, but when I do the workaround, it basically opens up the entire note from which the One Singular word simply is inside of, meaning, it’s like, merging 100% of entire notes when all I wanted it to do was represent that particular section / blurb / block/Headersworth of Words only. Le’ sigh

I’m trying to be able to copy paste over one single topic from my entire vault scattered across all my files, into Google Gemini Pro 1.5 for it to discuss that isolated topic only.
