SearchContainer is a taglib to build HTML code. Excel and PDF are not HTML, plus you might want to show paginated results in SearchContainer but a "show more" link in Excel or PDF is useless, e.g. you want all results to be included in the documents.

Thus, the process of transforming your data into Excel (try apache poi, or just use csv format) or PDF (do you want any page-decoration, e.g. logo, header, footer?) is different from creating HTML. I don't expect SearchContainer to be of much help.
