Reported by fed77...@gmail.com, Aug 21 2016 
UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/52.0.2743.116 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Open any page with text
2. Select any text with your mouse
3. Press CTRL+F or F3

What is the expected behavior?
Selected text will be in search tab
and search will be start immediately 

Selected text WON'T be copied to clipboard

What went wrong?
1. When press CTRL+F:
Search tab will take focus, but in it's input will be old text.
If you want to find new text you will need to copy selected text and then paste it in search tab and then press enter

2. When press F3:
Select on text will disappear
Search tab will take focus, but in it's input will be old text.

If you want to find new text you will need to select text again, then copy selected text and then paste it in search tab and then press enter

Able to reproduce the issue on win7 chrome version 52.0.2743.116 and canary - Selected text is not in search tab hitting CTRL+F or F3

This is working fine in firefox with Ctrl+F

This is a non regression issue existing since M30 builds to latest canary

Sounds like more of a feature request or requested behavior change.

Current behavior is that, Ctrl+F restores the previous search text in the search tab.
