Is it possible (or is there an application available) that allows results
from a file search in explorer (which will return thousands of documents) to
be dumped into an excel spreadsheet so filters can be applied and the search
results manipulated further????

cheers,

I don't think Search intends you to save the results, the saved file
from a search is the search criteria.

If you run a CMD window (Start, Programs, Accessories, Command Prompt -
or DOS window) you can type:

C:
CD \
dir /-n /b /s *.tif list_tif.txt

which will list all of your .tif files into a file list_tif.txt, you
can then open this in Excel and maniplulatre your results.

Of course, you can modify the instructions to better suit your search
purpose.
