Description

Describe the solution you'd like

I would like to use Search Objects, then copy the result as CSV in order to use in other documents (like impact analisys).

Describe alternatives you've considered

  • Copy a screenshot then pass through a IA for vision, but it lacks of precision and also need several steps if we have many objects.
  • Execute a query (not ui, but works):
select C.table_schema, C.table_name, C.column_name
  from information_schema."columns" C
 where C.column_name = 'field_name'
   and C.table_schema = 'public'

Research direction

Start by locating the Search Objects UI and its result display; the issue names no source file or test. Reproduce a search using the example information_schema.columns query, then verify that copying the displayed results produces usable CSV for downstream documents.
