How to open exported files in CSV from Safari?

Steps on how to open export files in CSV from Safari

If you are using the Safari to access Searchland, you may notice that when you export a report, the browser will show the information (image below) instead of downloading it.


Safari is designed to handle raw data inside of the browser, so the only way to download the file is to save it from the browser manually. This issue is exclusive to the Safari web browser on Mac computers.

Follow these steps when you are presented with the raw data:

  1. Right-click on the page Safari has opened, and click Save Page As.

  2. Another prompt will show up, allowing you to choose the file name and where you wish to save the file.

  3. In the next prompt, change Format to Page Source. You will notice the file extension in the file name line changed to .csv

  4. Change the file name as needed and select where you want to save the file.

  5. Click Save. The file will be in a readable format (CSV) where you saved it.
