Issue Details

Currently the company a query belongs to is manually set in the companiesdb repo.

The companiesdb method is currently very limited as it is not meant to be used as a “catch all” for every domain on the internet. Because of this, even though a domain may belong to a company, if that company doesn’t fit the undocumented criteria of the companiesdb repo or is a new TLD, it either won’t be known about, may not fit the criteria to be added, or there will be long delays in getting it added.

When sorting queries by company, this can provide incomplete searches leaving out important domains that can be the solution to a problem being searched for.

An example of this would be when sorting by “Microsoft” as the company.
The domain dealczars.bing-shopping.microsoft-falcon.io is not listed, but when doing a WHOIS fetch, the registrant organisation is Microsoft Corporation.

Proposed solution

Integrate new methods of company name detection such as doing a fetch for the WHOIS company organization data to automate the process.

Alternative solution
