Improved 'Google search to Find box' transfer

I liked the "nice UI touch" described in this hint: In Safari, after using Google Search box, you can use Find on page (⌘-F), and the search terms are filled in automatically.

However, dzurn was right:

I saw this before also, and I consider it a PITA instead of a nice UI touch. I usually Google for multiple single words for a hit, not search for entire phrases that I expect to actually see on the page.
Happily, this behavior seemingly changed with some recent update (10.4.2, perhaps?): I think they got it right this time!
