Use Notepad++
Ctrl+F to bring up the search box, then go to the Mark tab. Enter your keyword, and tick 'Bookmark line'. Now click Mark All.

Now you have a bunch of lines with a blue dot in the left border

Now click 'Search' on the top toolbar > Bookmark > Copy Bookmarked Lines

Paste the results into Excel
