Auto-fill the find in page search input with selected text

Reported by xavier.f...@gmail.com, Sep 14

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/69.0.3497.92 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. The "find in page" search input is hidden
2. User selects a text on the webpage
3. And hit Ctrl+F to open search input

What is the expected behavior?
The "find in page" feature should auto fill the search input, like Atom editor does, when a user select text on a webpage. When no text is selected, the current behavior stay the same.

Note that when a user select a text, and the search input is closed, then hit "f3" to search for a term, the behavior stay the same: the find in page feature will search for the last term.

This feature will avoid the user to copy the selected text and paste it into the search input.

What went wrong?
Not a bug, it's clearly a feature.

Did this work before? N/A 

Chrome version: 69.0.3497.92  Channel: stable
OS Version: 6.1 (Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 R2)
