Yes, that's right. It is not big function, sorry...

Then, how about delete the key map and include the eww-search-region?
I want to know how much eww should provide its utilities like this function.

* delete
 >> +    (define-key map [(meta s)(meta s)] 'eww-search-region)

* remain
 >> +(defun eww-search-region (&optional beg end)
 >> +  (interactive "r")
 >> +  (eww (buffer-substring beg end)))
