## Message

```
text_finder: Send selected word to text finder query (#59766)

## Objective

Make text finder match project search and buffer search by
pre-populating its query from the active editor according to
`seed_search_query_from_cursor`.

## Solution

- Seed text finder from the active editor's query suggestion when
opening it.
- Pass the seeded query into the picker and select the query text so
typing replaces it immediately.

## Testing

- Manually tested visually by opening text finder from an editor with a
selection and with the cursor on text, confirming the query is
pre-populated and selected.

## Self-Review Checklist:

- [x] I've reviewed my own diff for quality, security, and reliability
- [x] Tests cover the new/changed behavior
- [x] Performance impact has been considered and is acceptable

Release Notes:
- Improved text finder to seed its query from the active editor.
