Note 4- tap to select word for search in Chrome browser

[Phil Wall]

I just got a note 4 with Google now installed and am currently configuring it. At first, there was a cool function where during browsing you could tap (or possibly double tap... I can't remember) a word and it would select it and pop up a screen from the bottom with an option to search Google for it. I only browsed in Chrome so I don't know if it was a function of the note 4 or of Google software installed. I mistakenly disabled it and remember it saying I could turn it back on in Settings somewhere but I can't figure out how. I'm aware that the same thing can be achieved by long tapping a word and then pressing the magnifying glass button, but it was a convenient feature and I'd like.to.turn it back on. Anyone have any clue what I'm talking about?
