    Can anyone tell me if there is a way to make it possible for end users to save or export the results of search and filter operation? If not directly in S&F then perhaps through a third part integration?

    Hi Mark there is no way within S&F to do this…

    And in regards to a third party plugin again I’m not sure how this would be accomplished… but the key thing here that all S&F does is create a WP query, and provide the results…

    Therefor if you were to look for another plugin to help achieve this, I guess the right direction would be to look for plugins that allow exporting / downloading of WordPress queries… it might be a hard one to find to be honest…

    The only other things I could think to suggest are:

    Create a second search form (that is identical to the first in terms of setup), but is displayed completely differently, in a downloadable way, lets say so they they could just CTRL + S and save the page and it would be better styled to be downloaed. If this was a route, then all you would need to do is pass the query string ?_sf_s=searchterm&taxonomy=taxterm to your alternative search form, and it would yield the same results in a format that is more suitable for downloading.

    One other thing I can think of (but I don’t think this would work with ajax disabled – not sure if you use it) is to simply tell users to access the RSS feed of the page, which I guess is a better format for downloading…

    Hope that helps, if you do find anything it would be good to hear as I can see it would be useful to other users 🙂

    Best
