Suggestion: Search Results output in csv format

[Rod Nelson]

I love the new interface and can't wait for the entire collection to be accessible.

Is it feasible to provide an option for search results to be output in csv format?

And if the metadata included a link to the image file, even better. 

> Also BB-REF, Retrosheet and Bioproject page URL when we have a high confidence match.

FWIW, as nice as it is to have this interface and eventually access to the entire collection, the Excel files that you had sent a coupla years ago in the intial beta-testing (searching "Scout" and "Negro" for lastnames A-thru-K) were more helpful for numerous reasons. For instance, from that subset, I had 1193 records of TSN cards that found "Scout" in the metadata.  In this initial release, it now finds 618 records—not mutually exclusive—but not a subset of that batch of 1193 either. There appear to be hundreds of "new" records in this latest query. If I could get the search results in csv output, I could more easily identify the cards in this more recent query which are "new", with the added benefit of having the text so that I'm not tasked with inputting these search results into my own records, a step that invariably will introduce typos and other potential errors.  I think you can see the value in having the csv output option.
