copy+paste search

[gyrferret]

So, evidently if you copy something in the browser, and right after you hit the copy icon, you hit search, it automatically searches whatever you copied in google. Cool, huh?

That is cool.

Speaking of copy & paste why the heck does the clipboard have amnesia sometimes? It loses whatever was copied to the clipboard after either time has lapsed or when you open up other apps. You can tell when it happens because the icon goes grey. Seems like it just says, whoops, what was that you wanted copied again?

Neat trick. Tested and worked as advertised.

Very nice cool tip Microsoft should really list some of these types of tips somewhere.

You don't have to hit copy. Just select the text you want to search and hit the search button. This is an extension of the feature which first appeared in the pre-Nodo builds which didn't allow you to select more that one word.
