Task/Issue URL: https://app.asana.com/0/1201048563534612/1208209124965669/f Tech Design URL: CC: **Description**: This update adds support for dragging strings to the new tab button and the tab bar. - When a string is dropped to the new tab button, it opens a new tab with a search on the dropped string. - When a string is dropped to the current tab (both regular and pinned tabs), the tab gets replaced by a search for the dropped string. - When a string is dropped in the tab bar. For example, at the right of the + button when there is room, it should open a new search with the dropped string. This request came from: #3189 https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/d507c762-066a-4022-8813-5b82747b55c0 **Steps to test this PR**: **Verify new tab is open with a DDG search when a string is dragged to the + button or the tab bar** 1.

It would be great to have the ability to drag selected text to the “+” icon (new tab button) in the browser to automatically open a new tab with search results for the dragged text (like in safari and all other browsers)
Use Case:
This feature would improve user experience by making it faster and more intuitive to search for selected text.
