Known issue in NSPasteboard+Utils.mm. See https://crbug.com/42125 for a more
detailed explanation.

a Google search for the contents of the plain text (maybe only supporting it if
the plain text is under some character limit).

The reader does support plain text. Unfortunately, when dragging and dropping,
the order documentFragmentFromDragData checks for content on the dragging
pboard is HTML, then URL, then plain text. Since URL is always populated on Mac
thanks to the bug mentioned in crbug.com/42125, it always tries to drop the
URL--but since there's no title, nothing appears.

We could fix the NSPasteboard+Utils.mm code, but the more general case of
dragging and dropping plain-text URLs between text inputs would still be
broken.
