Bug Description
Often text is copied from the terminal and searched on the internet. E.g. compilation errors, errors from logs/applications, and so on.
It'd be useful if the terminal provided an option to search the internet directly - just like how browsers provide an option when selecting text: 'Search Google for "SELECTED TEXT"'.
Currently, terminal provides:
- Copy
- Copy as HTML
etc
when right-clicking (after selecting text). I think it'd be very useful if there's an additional option to search the internet (perhaps the search engine could be set in 'Preferences' if some other search isn't preferred).
