exporting search results to an Excel spreadsheet

Hello:
We are using the file:// protocol to index our file storage servers.
When we get requests for file searches on these, we are being asked to provide the requestor with a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet listing the name of each file.
Is there an existing process for exporting search results into Microsot Excel? Thanks.

There is nothing to automatically return results as a spreadsheet on-demand.

As a slightly manual process, it would be possible to create an XSL stylesheet that would format the results in comma separated values (CSV). This could then be easily imported into Excel.
