Answer

Before starting the TUI, redirect the output to a file, say search_results.txt:

$ ug -Q > search_results.txt

When your search results displayed in the TUI are satisfactory as, press ENTER to enter "output selection mode" and A to select all. Quit with CTRL-Q (or CTRL-C). The results are saved to file search_results.txt without color codes.

To include ANSI color codes, specify --color=always:

$ ug -Q --color=always > search_results.txt

To convert the ANSI color codes to HTML, use the ansi2html.sh script:

$ ug -Q --color=always | ansi2html.sh > search_results.html
