[Bug 232183] Re: Input/Textbox context menu should provide »Search [current search engine] for "[selected text]"« menu item.

[kbit]

Well, yes, a lot can be done in an extension.

But, please, what is a proper reason to not have this in the default
install?

You would not put the "Go" button into an extension, telling people "You can hit Return instead, anyway!", would you?
Or the search box itself... clearly an extension outsourcing candidate, no? You can use the address bar to go to google, yahoo, wikipedia etc. and search from there.

Therefore, please tell me: Why should some highlighted text be searchable, and some other not? Just because it's in an input box? Is the first more equal than the second?)
That's plain bad usability.
