Search for your domain name

bensd

I think this is the right forum to post in - admin/mod feel free to move.

Does anyone know of a tool to find how many domains are registered with a certain keyword?

ie. keyword - "game"

.co.uk - 75,000 domains registered
.com - 100,000 domains registered
.net - 85,000 domains registered
org. - 50,000 domains registered

etc etc

Thanks in advance

-Ben

I don't know if it does what you want but maybe:

Domain Tools: Whois Lookup and Domain Suggestions

will help.

You'd have to talk to someone like Dale at drop system or maybe stender and see if they will knock a tool to do that on .co.uk and download the zones for the others.

If you had a list of all the domains then it would be a simple sql search to return the results.

I don't think anyone would do this tho as the query would be immense on the servers resources.

Thanks Skinner; been on this general case for a while now. Results expected in about 60 days.

It will be a cool system to have in place, I'm surprised domain tools havent done this already.

Its really just a full text search, but a full text search on MILLIONS AND MILLIONS of records will be intense for 1 or 2 people but for dozens its doing to be crushing.

If your coding it yourself, look into caching via search term

p.s. Welcome

The main problem is getting a list of keywords. Otherwise, doing the queries and building a chart for com/net/org/biz/info/etc would be easy enough. The hard part would be .co.uk as Nominet does not provide access to the .uk zones from what I remember.

Here is a .UK zone file which can be found online.

I think that's the last 2003 zone for .co.uk. The main problem for doing a keyword search is the other four million or so .co.uk domains that have been registered. The com/net/org/biz/info/mobi/asia stuff is easy as I have zonefile access on those TLDs and produce stats on those TLDs every month. It is just a case of running a set of keyword queries against the domain databases to provide the stats for the keywords.

select count(domainname) from BigComListTable where domainname like '%game%';

Not that difficult and certainly not a full text search.
