Exporting A Custom Type List From Filtered Search?

Apologies upfront for wasting your time if this is obvious,  but I can't figure it out from the interface and couldn't find the magic search phrase in the forum……so I'll ask.

Once I've done a ‘Coins’ search with a combination of Search criteria is there a way to export a list of the types that were returned to use as a collecting checklist?  In a format similar to the ‘My Collection’ export I suppose - though one row per matching type rather than one for owned coin.  With maybe a binary field indicating whether my collection includes any coins of that type.

For example, if I want to start a type set collection of  ‘circulation coins from the last 75 years with turtles on them’ I can perform a search to list them,   but I don't see any way to export that list to use as a checklist.

Is that doable under the current interface?  Or is it limited to prevent people from exporting the whole database?

A couple of other quick comments while I'm here:
- It would be nice if the ‘Composition’ menu could include a ‘Non precious + silver’ option.   Silver is in the price range of a lot more people than gold, platinum, etc are
- It would also be nice if ‘type dates' were a display option after a search so you'd see coins sorted by the year the type was introduced.

Thanks in advance for any help and many thanks to those who do the work to make this site so valuable!

Hello,

It's currently not possible to export search results.

A possible way to achieve what you are describing is using “wishes”.

On the page My wishes, you can define that you are looking for “circulation coins from the last 75 years with turtles on them”. Matching coins will be identified with a red heart throughout the catalogue and when you look at the swap lists of other members.

Alternatively, you can manually select the turtle coins and click the checkbox “I wish to get this coin” on each coin's page. Coins that are marked this way can be exported on the Export page.

Regarding your other suggestions:

- The proposal to search for non-precious + silver is already tracked here: https://en.numista.com/forum/topic97308.html

- You can already sort coins by date. Such option filters first by issuer, then by the first year the type minted.

Xavier, 

Thank you for explaining the process. Is there a reason only the “wishes” that are manually entered can be exported? It would be really nice to export those wishes identified through the wish criterion in addition to the wishes entered manually.

All the best,

Matt

EDITED:   Post was about the wish list checkbox having disappeared this morning as I was following suggestion #2 above, but it's back now so deleting original text.   Guess it was just a temporary system glitch.

EDITED A SECOND TIME TO ADD:   On further inspection it looks like you went ahead and added to my wishlist everything I was trying to manually add?  

Thanks, Xavier!

Yes, that was a bug, now fixed.

I don't think I did anything like that. 

So when I export the list I don't see all the newly added ones, so I just figured out that it was the result of me experimenting this morning with saved criteria.  Not something you did.

Thanks again for the prompt bug fix and  response!  This site rocks.

This idea was suggested again recently, and BramVB gave a good explanation why we don't need such feature.
