Hello World!

I'm using Elastic Stack 6.6.1 and while trying to follow [Managing Saved Objects | Kibana User Guide [6.6] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/managing-saved-objects.html), a minor yet still a bug was discovered...

To replicate:

> To narrow the list of saved objects, enter a search term or select an object type.

while using `Export` to export set (narrowed list) of objects, everything gets exported instead...

Please advise.

@alexus

I think that's more because of the wording that's confusing in the docs. You can narrow your search for saved objects in the UX, but the export-functionality does not take that search into account.

I would create a feature request in the kibana repo: [https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/new](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/new)
