First of all, I'm assuming you are using the latest version, GnuCash 3.7.
Older versions of GnuCash may possibly behave differently. I am going to
describe menu items; you may also use keyboard shortcuts.
You have searched and found what you are looking for using
Edit --> Find
Your search results are in the ACTIVE tab. While your search results are
active,
File --> Export -> Export Active Register to CSV
I believe this is what you are asking for.
BY THE WAY, in older versions of GnuCash (and still in the most recent
versions) you can also export data by creating a report. After creating the
report you can export by copy-pasting from what's on your screen OR by
saving as an html file and opening that file. You can use the data in a
spreadsheet program (such as LibreOffice Calc) or word processor (such as
LibreOffice Writer).
While the search results are active, choose
Reports --> Account Report
While the Report tab is active, you can choose
File --> Export --> Export Report
(The Export Report option also appears in the toolbar, just below the menu
bar.)
