Disable Search Google?

So I would like to have an option to disable "Search with Google" feature, which I even believe should be off by default.

Whenever I go to "Notes" section to copy something - there it is - if my finger slips (and it did so many times) I am now searching for my private/sensitive note in google, basically spilling secrets to google.

I am not sure if other systems have the same feature, but on Windows I'm often cursing a lot because of it.

    Hi PrzemyslawKlys, thanks for reaching out about this!

    I definitely agree that when attempting to copy from notes fields, the Search with Google menu option is quite easy to hit by accident, which can result in searching sensitive information in Google - this is something I've done by accident in the past as well.

    At the moment it's not possible to disable this menu option, however I think it's a great suggestion. I've passed your feedback along to our product team in the form of a feature request to see if this is something we can improve on in future. If you have any further suggestions or questions, let us know 😄
