>Description:
In our query results, we'd like to include the multitext fields Environment, 
Description, and Organization. After running the query, we "pass" copy and 
paste from the query results into a spreadsheet for a little extra formatting.

Currently, we display every PR that matches the query criteria, copy and paste 
the Description field to a Word table. This is a waste of time and unworkable 
as the number of PRs increases.

I tried adding "Description" to the fields in the standard query and adding 
"columns=Description" to the query URL, but it didn't work. It seemed to 
interpret the EOL character in the Description field as separate fields, 
yielding 1233 search results from our 100 records and understandably hanging 
after it processed the field headings.

Any help getting pointed in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.
