Automation of search queries on different sites?

Tell me what to do, or in which direction to look? You need something like a macro that works like this: I select the text, press the execution key, and the selected text is searched for on a specific site, they open a new page in the default browser already with the search result. as I see it: the program works in the background, monitors the key, when pressed, forms a query string from the selected word and opens the page in the browser from this string, what is the easiest way to do this? are there ready made solutions?

If the text is selected only in the browser, then I think the easiest way to do this is through tampermonkey, by writing a small js scripter.
UPD: If it's purely Windows, then you can try autohotkey
UPD2: And there is also such an extension for chrome Hotkeys for Search (but for sure there is also for FF). So, it launches a hotkey search. Suitable if you need to select only in the browser.
