After you have run the search, you will have a “Search Results” tab open.

From the “Reports” menu, choose “Account Report”.

Click the “Export” button, and save the file to HTML.

Before the Export stage, you can adjust the contents of the report using the 
“Options” button.

I’m using LibreOffice for the next stage, but presumably other office suites 
will do the same.

Open the HTML file in LibreOffice.

Select All, and Copy to clipboard.

Open a new Spreadsheet file.

Paste.

Save As CSV.


This is a very roundabout route, but if this is a one-off job probably 
worthwhile,

Michael

PS Curses! As I was about to send this, David Cousens beat me to it with a 
proper solution! The feature that misled me (and presumably Mike) is that the 
Export button that appears once the Register tab is selected implies that this 
is the only way to export from a register, and blinded me to that alternative 
route.
