Right-click/context menu option to search highlighted text

Use case or problem

While editing or reading, I come across a word or phrase that I think might have related notes I may want to look at or link to. How can we make it easier/more fluid to find content related to an unlinked word or phrase?

Proposed solution

  1. User highlights word or phrase, right-clicks/displays context menu, and selects “search vault”.
  2. Obsidian displays Search tab, adds highlighted text to search box, runs search, and displays search results.

Current workaround (optional)

Highlight text, copy, paste into search and hit enter.
