Is there a way to copy the search results to a new document? Specifically when using grep to add new text surrounding results.

I think you've made your question more concise than necessary. What kind of results of what kind of search?

for a document like:

FirstName LastName
(111) 123-4567
Other details

FirstName LastName
(111) 234-5678
Other details



Find:
([a-z]+\s[a-z]+)\s(\([0-9]{3}\)\s[0-9]{3}-[0-9]{4})

Replace:
\1\t\2

desired output to new document (replace format):
FirstName LastName      (111) 123-4567
FirstName LastName      (111) 234-5678

except rather than replace in document I would like it to write the would be replace string into a new document.


Have you examined the Text > Process Lines Containing… command? It lets you grep through a single file, and copy the matching lines to a new document. You'd have to do replacements as a separate step, though.

I hadn't (thanks)... this would work if it returned the specific matches rather than line of match and could add additional text to results like how replace functions for find.
