Nicolas, out of curiosity (as I keep running into this and because terminals to the same); is there a specific reason that this hasn't started yet? If not, could we plan it in for Bogaloo?

I don't think there's any specific reason aside from prioritization.
My guess is that it shouldn't take long, so maybe I can do it.

Attachment: Bug 1489491 - Populate reverse search with input text selection; r=bgrins.

If the user selected some text in the console input
and opens the reverse search UI, we populate the
reverse search input with the selected text and do
a reverse search with this text.
A test is added to ensure this works as expected.
