Ok, I was actually speaking of selected text in the body of a page not in a text form such as a reply as mentioned. In this case it seems, iCab is a little smarter than OW. In iCab I select text in a page and the option in the context menu is "Find text selection in Internet". Maybe this is a custom adaption of the "Search in Google" function, since iCab's function actually does search Google.
This is something i'd like to see in OW. I'd like OW to open a new tab and google it.
