[Feature Request] Add an option to search selected text with brave

[tankmohit]

Problem Description

When selecting a text in any article there is no option to search it on google or any search engine without leaving brave, and have to use lookup function built inside iOS, which by default opens safari.

This feature is built directly inside Firefox iOS. please refer to the option "Search with firefox" in screenshots below

Hi @tankmohit / All

I believe that this feature can be solved on iOS 14 / iPadOS 14, with the capability of Brave iOS to become the default browser ( #2785 ), thus by clicking "Look Up", then it will redirect to Brave iOS.

I think that the "Search with Firefox" is not standard implementation.

Thank you.

But this would add few extra steps to accomplish a thing. While on firefox it can be done with single tap.

@iccub I noticed that the searches from the context menu are not logged under recent searches. Is this the expected behavior for this feature?

I think this is worth having a followup ticket @Uni-verse
