I don't see a google or other web search option.
What firmware version are you using on your Kobo? With 3.12 (and I think earlier than that) when you press and hold on a word it pops up the definition and menu of icons with options to highlight (pencil), SEARCH (magnifying glass) or export (I think) to Facebook. If you press on the magnifying glass (search) icon it drops down a menu with "in book", "Wikipedia" or "Google" as options.
