I'm trying to write a command similar to the 'paste-url' command (open
clipboard/selection in new buffer), but which searches for the text in the
selection/clipboard instead.

I tried two things:

(1) // use M-y to google current selection in new buffer
interactive("search-for-selection", "search for selection in new buffer",
                     $browser_object = 'google '+browser_object_paste_url
       );
define_key(default_global_keymap, "M-y", "search-for-selection");

(2) // use M-y to google current selection in new buffer
interactive("search-for-selection", "search for selection in new buffer",
            function (I) {
                 let searchsel = "google ";
                 searchsel.append = browser_object_paste_url;
                 $browser_object = searchsel;
        });
define_key(default_global_keymap, "M-y", "search-for-selection");

But neither seems to work. Any suggestions?
