Feature Request: Add Google Search Functionality in VSCode's Terminal

[vasudev-sharma]

This extension is pretty amazing. Similar to the option which allows user to google search a snipet of code on the editior, it would be great to have the same functionality implemented in the Terminal window of VScode.

I'm quite certain that this feature would be much appreciated since most of the errors are displayed in the terminal and for a user to easily google it would be the most convenient and probable solution.

Desired behaviour

1. Go to terminal window
2. Right click with mouse and an option should appear stating Google this.

PS: Let me know if I can lend a hand towards integration of this feature into the extension.

A simple thing - Search with google can be a context menu at all places where there's a copy context menu. This will make it work in most places with the least effort. Also, the functionality can extend as VS code evolves, without coding.

Here's a "me too" message, just to keep this feature request fresh. 😃

I had hoped that changing terminal.integrated.rightClickBehavior to default would make google-search appear in terminal windows. Directly searching for build errors must be a common wish.

That said, none of the other Google searching extensions seem to work in the terminal either, so perhaps it isn't possible? @sanjarcode seems to think it's a simple thing, but perhaps not in this context.
