I find it useful to search directly for selected text in other windows. It can be technically difficult to get the selected text in any window, but fortunately we can only implement the most common cases. For example, the selected text in the web browser( like Edge), or the selected text in the windows explorer.
Maybe you can think about it, thanks for reading.

Copy the selection in the clipboard.
The rest is a simple AHK script or QAP or whatever your favorite tool is.
This will work from any window.

12. Button in web browser (Firefox, EDGE) -> to make a search query in 'Everything' (text from the web)
