Requesting this as a blocker since currently when you drag and drop a
word/sentence or anything into the find bar, nothing at all happens. But yet you
can drag and drop a word or link into the address bar, also can drag and drop
links to the bookmarks menu and a bookmark is created...so why not have the
search auto initiate when drag and dropping an anything into the input field?
