/sys$common/syshlp/helplib.hlb SEARCH, Qualifiers, /OUTPUT  *Conan The Librarian (sorry for the slow response - running on an old VAX)

       /OUTPUT[=filespec]
       /NOOUTPUT

    Controls whether the results of the search are output to a
    specified file. The output is sent to the current default output
    device (SYS$OUTPUT) if you omit the /OUTPUT qualifier or omit the
    file specification with the qualifier. The /NOOUTPUT qualifier
    means that no matching records are output as a result of the
    SEARCH command.
