gnome-terminal: select the text and search the selected text in google

Yeah, I'm working on new hacking to improve the GNOME usability and i have a idea. When we are using gnome-terminal we need often consult google to find something (like commands, errors messages etc). Example (GNOME-TERMINAL-TEXT): xen:/# ps aux If we select the "ps aux" text and click with right button, after we click with left button in a new feture name "Google Search" we will be redirect to the Google's Page with this url: http://www.google.com.br/search?hl=pt-BR&q=ps+aux&btnG=Pesquisa+Google&meta= (with a browser) This can make easy to find errors messages! We won't spent time coping and pasting the "ps aux" string to web-browser. I need to know if someone think about it?! This hack can get into gnome-stable codes? -- Regards, Luiz Vitor Martinez Cardoso aka Grabber.
Bug 349097 is about a more general approach that would include this possibility. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 349097 ***
