Web News feature extension

The Web News feature only allows one search URL, for only one website.
I've set the search string as is: https://www.google.com/search?q=<cusip>, but I have various search needs in various websites, so unfortunately only one URL is most of the time not appropriate for what I want / need to search at a given time. So I almost never use this feature.

The feature would be much more useful to me if several (e.g. 10) search URLs could be defined, and we could choose the desired URL / search from a sub-menu in the investment contextual menu.

Maintaining the investment database in Fund Manager, and grab some info related to investments (news, financials...) requires to visit frequently various websites, with investment name, symbol, or CUSIP/ISIN as the search string. For example, here are some sites I visit a lot (among others):

https://investing.com/search?q=%s
https://www.marketscreener.com/search/?q=%s
https://stooq.com/q/?s=%s
https://fr.finance.yahoo.com/quote/?yfin-usr-qry=%s
https://markets.ft.com/data/search?query=%s

This request is somewhat in the same direction as this one, in order to be more efficient to search data related to the investments on the internet
