            E.g.:
            * Click 'search', 'custom searches'
            * Click 'basic search' (or any other custom search)
            * Click 'search'
            * Click 'Select records: All 203 records'
            * Click 'Actions', 'Export contacts'
            * (Click 'Export custom search fields', and 'Continue' if you are using CiviCRM 4.7.20 or later; this option is not available in earlier versions of CiviCRM.)
            * An export is created without calling hook_civicrm_export.

            Description

            If you export the results of a custom search, and you choose to export the custom search fields, hook_civicrm_export is not called, which causes e.g. the civiexportexcel-extension not to work for custom searches.

            I have a fix, which is a little hacky and not well tested. But I'll submit a pull request.
