Nice to know that all .io and .co domains i can think of are free ;)

  Yeah, unfortunately both .io and .co are not gathered from authoritative sources, as the registrars don't provide free access to their zone root files. :\ I use this myself to look for domains and I figured something would be better than nothing at all in this case. :)

Curious as to what has changed since the nitial discussion. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7888763 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7888763

  Sure. :) Besides a few performance improvements, we've upped the limit from 15k domains to 50k domains (https://namegrep.com/#%5B0-9%5D%7B4%7D%5Babcde%5D https://namegrep.com/#%5B0-9%5D%7B4%7D%5Babcde%5D). We've also introduced .io and .co TLD lookups (albeit with limited support, since these zone files are not available to the general public).

    Awesome site! This is my first post here, so please feel free to direct me to the appropriate place if I misstep. I swear I did a search first, though. :) I'm actually looking up domains for work to see what might have been registered outside of our regular process, so that we can pull them back into our managed portfolio. The two primary issues I'm having with the tool are the 50k limit and not being able to export the list. (Which might a clipboard limit with Windows/IE, haven't really looked into it yet (that's our standard image, not my choice)) If it's possible, what would be really helpful for me is to find a certain string within all of the registered domains. It looks like every combination fitting the pattern is tried, and with the 50,000 limit, it's missing a lot that I know are registered. (And what's particularly frustrating is how many patterns are 50,001-55,000 :-) ) An export option would be nice to have, as well, perhaps only for registered domains. Even if I'm not able to use it for work, I've added the site to my personal bookmarks (on a different OS/browser...)
