Certainly you can get the values in a multidimensional array:

def indicators = []
holder.getDomNodes('//ns5:search-result').each {
   def attrs = []
   attrs <<  it.getAttribute('match-indicator') << it.getAttribute('search-name') <<  it.getAttribute('match-score')
   indicators << attrs 
}


But if you are going to concatenate them anyway why not just do so right away?

def indicators = []
holder.getDomNodes('//ns5:search-result').each {
   indicators <<  it.getAttribute('match-indicator') + "_" +  it.getAttribute('search-name') + "_" + it.getAttribute('match-score')
}


It looks to me like you will get each result in a separate column in your worksheet - is that what you intended? If you actually wanted each result in a separate row I think the whole thing could be done with a DataSource-DataSink-DataSource Loop setup. No coding necessary.
