Greetings Kibana.4 fans,

There is an export button in Kibana 4 (see screenshot) but it doesn't do  
anything meaningful. Is it just a mock-up for future functionality? Cu's  
are missing the ability to save searches to excel...

Thanks,

David

Here's the javascript error I get when I click on Export button (company  
name withheld):

Went through closed Kibana.4 closed tickets, found it fixed with commit to  
master. Will rebuild and redeploy. Hopefully will work then.
