Select To Speak silent when pressing search key - needs documentation

Project Member Reported by leberly@chromium.org, Mar 8 2018

Issue description

Google Chrome	67.0.3363.0 (Official Build) canary (64-bit)
Firmware Version	Google_Samus.6300.276.0

Steps to repro:
# Get STS speaking in any way
# Press Search button
Expected: nothing happens since search is not documented as being a silence key: https://support.google.com/chromebook/answer/177893?hl=en

Actual: STS stops speaking

This is either a bug or if it is works as intended the documentation is incomplete. 
 
Note that I am using the new version of STS by going to Chrome://flags > Enable Experimental accessibility features

This has always been the STS behavior since I took over the project. I assume it is on purpose (there's even a comment about it in the code), but will confirm with Laura A and Dominic and re-open if needed.

I think it's useful to silence it when pressing Search. Let's document it.

@lpalmaro, how can we update the STS documentation to include that it can be cancelled with the 'search' key as well as 'ctrl'?

Flipping this bug back to WontFix since the feature itself is working as intended and the documentation portion of the bug is now tracked in https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=822835 
Components: UI>Accessibility>SelectToSpeak
Moving from just having STS label to also having the UI>Accessibility>SelectToSpeak component to make searching easier in the future.
