Why it would help
Sometimes I just want to find a restaurant link, or a YouTube video, or Moby Games page.
I used this a lot in Gboard and used to use in in SwiftKey
I can select text and choose iOS Look Up feature, which is useful to a degree. But the results are limited so are not quite as good as search results.

@gingerbeardman I'm not going to add this one. The useful version shows results right in the keyboard so you can tap a link into the chat. That needs a paid search service and a server of mine that every search goes through, and I don't want the keyboard sending what you type anywhere. A button that just opens Safari with your query would save one tap over switching to Safari yourself, so it isn't worth a spot in the bar. Sorry, I know you used it a lot in Gboard.
No worries!
