Copy just the values from Find All operation

It would be very handy to be able to copy just the values found when using the Find All tool.
Currently, copying the results of Find All from the results display tab copies all the meta data along with the results, making it impossible to get just the results.
Why would you do this? Say you have a text document with a bunch of product IDs and names in it. You want to get a list of just the names and IDs, so you do a Find All using a Regular Expressions like this:
I would hope get a list like this that I could copy for use somewhere:
id: 87234 widget_1
id: 78273 widget_2
Instead, if you copy and paste the results, you get something like the example below, which is pretty useless for any purpose that I can think of:
