Export function disappeared on record search. Why?

ramoka

Since the new look of record search was introduced it is not possible to export the result what was very useful earlier to keep information in local worksheet for sorting out the relevan/irrelevant informtaion.

Would it be possible to reenable the export function, please.

Export is actually much improved, but relocated. See some screenshots here:

There isn't quite a sign saying "beware of the leopard", but it feels like there may as well be. The spreadsheet download is now hidden under More Options - Preferences. (Yes, Preferences. Of all things.)

Can anyone tell me how to export more than 100 records? I don't see a way to page to the next 100 records.

I thought changing the page (to next 100) also paged the export. - made it export that page (at least it did so when I checked a couple weeks ago). If it's not doing that now then the behavior has changed (again).

So when I checked last - it exported the records on the page.

This needs more investigation. The logic is very opaque.

The export used to match whatever was on the current page, but not any more.

I set the results page to 100 records but the export default remained set at 10 records. If I am viewing 100 records but set the export at 10 I get 10 records in the download and have no way to increment to the next 10 records. So these two settings are not linked.

Yes I agree - export amount should link to paged amount? I suppose someone should give this Feedback or Suggest an Idea. Hopefully development can make the setting 'stick'?
