What I want is to have the full line that contains that email address copied to a new document such that I then have every occurence of that email address in the new document so I can pour through it looking for errors. I tried adding * before and after the email address to see if that would bring over the whole line but that didn't work.

This is a job for a regular multi-file search (Find All) which will find all instances of the given address and present a results browser where you can review each instance (each match) in context.


In contrast, the purpose of the Extract command is to capture all the data which matches a particular _pattern_ (not a string) from within a file or set of files, e.g. say you want to gather every email address which is preceded by "Registered to: ".
