Hi Paul
Your original request said you required a list of expenses. If you only
want the totals amount, there is no need to export at all. Just scroll
to the bottom of the Account Report, which shows the the total Debits,
Credits, and Balance.
As to your other useful suggestions, please excuse the editorial. I see
that the lead article on your web site is titled "The Importance of
Building a Strong Community".
The great thing about GnuCash is that it is built, maintained, and
supported by a wonderful volunteer open source community. Please feel
free to join us. I am sure that someone with your background and
experience could make and make a valuable contribution:

Thank you!
I see now how I can do that, but it's not all that convenient to do, seems
like it would be something that lots of people would want to do.
Copy/paste from HTML seems like not a good way to expect people
to do it as well.
All I want is a total of the columns of a search, seems like this ought
to be a feature built in already.
I also looked for this kind of search/export in the documentation and
couldn't find it, it'd be nice to say something about that too.
I tried things like "export search results" and nothing came up.
Even "search results" didn't say much.
A section on common things people like to do would be good.

Hi Paul
From the Search Results tab, choose Reports / Account Report.
This opens a new tab with a variant of the Transaction Report showing
just the transactions in your Search Results. The Report Options let
you tweak which columns are displayed.
From there, you can either File / Export / Report, or just select all
and copy /paste.
The export format is HTML, but it pastes into Microsoft Excel in a
usable format.

Is there some way to export search results?
I was trying to get a list of medical expenses for the past year and
I didn't
see any easy way to do this, is there a good way to do it?
I tried search but I couldn't export it or total the columns.
It seems like I should be able to export this list - this is a
general question.
I tried income expense cash flow for the year, but it gave me just
money-in and money-out. I was looking for detail to export to a
spread sheet.
I finally did File Export Transactions and got what I wanted but it
seems
like there should be an easier way.
Suggestions?
Thanks!
