Workaround for batch copy from Find Symbol Results window

Visual Studio 2008 and 2010 do not provide any easy way to export or shift-select the results in the Find Symbol Results window.  I ran into a situation where I needed to copy and paste 550 matches so I needed an automated solution.

I resolved this problem using a simple macro created in Macro Express (which offers a 30 day free trial) to copy one line at a time from the Find Symbol Results window into a Notepad document.  Download a copy of the macro I used here.
