Issue descriptionUserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/58.0.3029.110 Safari/537.36 Steps to reproduce the problem: I have a small suggestion that will improve "Paste and go" and "Paste and search": currently, it simply says "Paste and go" or "Paste and search", but it SHOULD say "Paste and search "cats"" if you've copied or cut "cats". And if you have cut or copied reddit.com, it would say "Paste and go to reddit.com". I have included some screenshots in case I'm not being clear. Chrome already does this when you highlight text and right-click on it, it will say "Search Google for "cats"", so this would just be extending that to Paste and search/go What is the expected behavior? What went wrong? see above Did this work before? N/A Chrome version: 58.0.3029.110 Channel: stable OS Version: 10.0 Flash Version:

It seems to be a feature request. Hence, marking it untriaged for further investigation. Thanks...!!

Yes, but more of an extension of an existing feature :)

The challenge here is string width, but I agree the idea is worth considering.

Yes, and hopefully it results in the "Paste and search" feature being used more

Maybe the word "Paste" shouldn't be in there, maybe it should just say "Search Google for "cats"". Wording it "Paste and search for "cats"" seems wrong. Same goes for URL's, it should say "Go to www.cats.com", not "Paste and go to www.cats.com"

Thanks for the suggestion. We'll keep this in mind. I think this probably should be straightforward, as we probably already know how to deal with long strings. (As you observe, the the context menu on selected text web contents shows the full search string "Search Google for ..." or "Go to ...", so putting the full string under the same length conditions, if any, in the omnibox context menu seems sensible.) Coders who see this bug are invited to submit a patch. :-)

Awesome! I asked some smart people about this and I'm now even more certain that it should be relabeled "Go to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/example" and NOT "Paste and go to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/example" , the "Paste and" is superfluous and even confusing.

nobody wants to take this? I think users would really like this!

'bumping' this only because I'm sure it will make users more likely to use this feature, they will have more confidence and no doubt when using this feature if this gets implemented |
