live charts would be awesome

super idea!!!

Hi,
When you select CSV as export format, you'll see just below the Format box a combo box with label "Delimiter". Choose "Tab (\t" from its drop-down list, and you'll be exporting a TSV file.

Urgh, I've just discovered that collection export also does "Current query result set". Facepalm! Exporting as TSV rather than CSV would be way more useful though.

Quite often I want to show other people a search result from a collection, using a projection to see only certain fields. What I do right now is copy the search results, paste them into a decent text editor and use find/replace to turn the (not quite) json into a tsv file which I can paste into a spreadsheet. From there it's super easy to create charts.

A much easier method would be to see my search results in table view, select the columns I'm interested in, right click and 'Export as tsv'.

Note: I say "not quite" json because there are no commas between each document in a search result, so you can't use the results programmatically without a faff.

Also: Not quite relevant to the original topic, but another way to let people see your search results would be if each search had a URI which we could give to other people, and they'd paste it into their own Mongochef. Radical!
