Execution of babel code in :noexport: sections

When I export this code, I am prompted for a search term:

* This section is not exported  :noexport:

#+begin_src sh :results output replace :var search_term=(read-string "Search .emacs for: ")

grep --ignore-case $search_term ~/.emacs

#+end_src

Is this the expected behavior?
