Summary:

Selecting text in a NSTextView and then using the default context menu to perform a search does not respect the user's current browser choice.

Steps to Reproduce:

1) Use System Preferences > General > Default web browser to select Google Chrome as the default browser.
2) In any NSTextView, select a word and control-click (or right-click). The easiest place to do this is in TextEdit.
3) Select "Search with Google" (or whichever search engine you prefer.)

Expected Results:

Search results should appear in your default browser: Google Chrome

Actual Results:

Search results always appear in Safari.

Version/Build:
