Just set a form var (or add a GET variable to your link) from your
search.php page that says that you only want the searched records,
something like:
<input type="hidden" name="onlySearch" value="1" />
And then, in your export script, check for the existence of that
variable before doing your query:
<?php
if (isset($_REQUEST['onlySearch']) and ($_REQUEST['onlySearch'] == 1))
{
doSearchExport();
} else
{
doFullExport();
}
?>
