Bug Description

Binary package hint: epiphany

If you select a piece of text and drag it to empty tab space (see the attached screenshot if you're not sure what I mean) a new tab is opened using that text, but using it as an url, not performing a google search. I'll give you an example.

Let's suppose you select the word "gnome" in a web page, and drag it to empty tab space. A new tab is opened, showing http://www.gnome.com/.

Instead, you should get a google search looking for the word "gnome", since it's more coherent with the way Epiphany works.

Thank you for your bug. No need to open upstream bugs on launchpad if you open them on bugzilla, we don't have the ressources to work on minor upstream bugs at the moment anyway
