Issue description
Chrome Version : 64.0.3282.167
OS Version: 10.0
URLs (if applicable) :
Other browsers tested:
Add OK or FAIL after other browsers where you have tested this issue:
Safari:
Firefox:
IE/Edge:
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Select text that may be parsed as a URL (but is not a URL), for example, paint.net
2. Right-click on selection
What is the expected result?
In addition to the newly-added "Go to xxxxxx" as a result of the selection being a URL, the option to "Search Google for xxxxxx" should also be present (in case this isn't a URL or research on the URL is requested).
What happens instead of that?
Only "Go to xxxxx" is present in the menu.
Please provide any additional information below. Attach a screenshot if
possible.
This violates the principle of least surprise, in that users accustomed to right-clicking a selection and using "Search Google for ...." are unable to do so. IMHO, "Go to xxxxxx" should be shown in addition to and not instead of "Search Google for xxxxx".

mqudsi@ Thanks for the issue. Tested this issue on Windows 10 and Mac OS 10.12.6 on the reported version 64.0.3282.167 and the latest Canary 66.0.3350.0 by following the below steps. 1. Launched Chrome and navigated to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page page. 2. Selected text which has link and right clicked. Could observe that 'Go to ...' is not seen in the context menu, but 'Search Google for ...' is seen. Attached is the screen cast for reference. Request you to check and confirm if anything is missed from our end in triaging the issue. Also request you to provide the screen cast of the issue for better understanding. Thanks..

Hi Susan, As the bug says, it's not selecting text that contains a link but text that is a non-linked representation of a link, like the example given. Select the text on the line below this one: paint.net then right-click and observe. See screenshot.

mqudsi@ Thanks for the feedback. Able to reproduce the issue on Windows 10, Mac OS 10.12.6 and Ubuntu 14.04 on the latest Canary 67.0.3364.0 and Stable 65.0.3325.146 as per comment #6. Cannot see the option 'Search google for...' on selecting paint.net and right clicking on it. Attached is the screen cast for reference. This is a Non-Regression issue as this behavior is observed from M60 Chrome builds. Hence marking this as Untriaged for further updates from Dev. Thanks..
