Glad you love it. For now what I can imaging is leave an addon hook/entrypoint at the selection UI, so user could choose what their selection UI has. (But its out of scope for 2.5. )

isn't there a web API available to enable this? (expand to not only search but almost any kind of action)
I can envision that an app would like to use the selected text to engage an action ("count number of letters", "search lyrics"...).

That is great for now. It may make sense to expand it later to a different choice, though. The use case for text highlight might skew towards something like Wikipedia or word definition rather than just web search (though some search engines provide this functionality inline).

We already have one setting, so I'd assume it's "good enough" to use
this instead of a hardcoded string and discuss another settings item at
a later step.
I added a new `search` web activity in apps/search (bug 1206572), so the `search` action will reuse default search option. User could change the default search provider via tap top left search bar or change it in settings/search panel.
