After Search; Turn OFF yellow Highlight for clipping to MS Word

Smart Search works fantastic. However, I prefer to "paste to external" documents.

Can you turn off, (Or Toggle) the yellow highlighting, in the found resource? This way, MS Word doesn't carry it over. Otherwise, I have to close the search, then I lose all the other Search hits, too.

I think this is a good suggestion for a new release. Or Hotkey it as a toggle. IF can be done, somehow?

Thanks

    I understand "paste to external" as an Export option, but Word on Windows does not retain highlighting whilst exporting to XPS would. Note that the same applies to Copy/Paste.

    If nothing else works, Word has a "Paste Special" option, so you can paste the text without the formatting.
