Abstract
A text string may be captured when a user initiates a selection event in a web browser. In response to the selection event, the text string is derived from the selected element(s) in a rendered web page. The text string is automatically placed in a web-search text-entry field of the web browser without further instructions from the user. The user can modify the text string before querying a web-search engine.
