Good idea, thanks.

Since we don't yet have that feature built in, another short-term option is to use an MCP tool. For example https://github.com/damionrashford/RivalSearchMCP provides an endpoint https://github.com/damionrashford/RivalSearchMCP that you can configure as an MCP server - I just checked and it seems to work well.

Totally agree it would be nice for this to be built-in though!
