Browsers provide word-selection upon double click on text. They also provide arbitrary contiguous text selection with the mouse. We can leverage this feature in search by loading the search query with the text selection when ever it is available.

The user experience here is similar to other editors, for example Sublime Text.  For me this feature is the most important one missing from Web Inspector's editor.

Patch to follow.
