Thank you for clarifying what you meant by this. As it turns out, we actually changed the behavior at the last minute to do a search query every time text is selected (which is what I believe you are saying is bad about Apture). We made this change because we figured it would be a better experience for users if the larger window were populated with search results as soon as it expanded.

However, now that you've framed it from a privacy perspective, it is obvious to me how this can feel really invasive. The intent to search should activate the query. Thanks for the constructive suggestion!
