No - you can only use the Newsbin server for the purpose of using the built-in Internet search.

If you are usingan alternative server, then you may want to make use of the Newbin NZB Autoload feature to load the results from such servers into Newsbin with the minimum of effort.

Thanks.

May this would be a nice feature for future versions?

I think it is unlikely to happen as every provider has a custom interface so it would be a lot of work, and from a Newsbin perspective would remove the incentive to sign up for their search service.
