   Thanks, appreciate it. And I'm working on the accuracy issue.

   Great ideas. In the last few hours I: - Added sorting options (alphabetical, length) - Added filtering options (starts with, ends with) - Added a Moniker registration link Will eventually add more search results; want to make sure this hold

   Hey, I added an option to double check its availability on the registration dialog.

   Thanks, agreed on all points. Appreciate it.

   The results are not perfect. I added a "doublecheck" link on the registration dialog box that allows you to confirm before following through to the registrar.

   Hey Beau, thanks for the feedback. I've always admired your work with Instant Domain Search and appreciate you taking the time to give me feedback on this. When you say "there are no margins in the domain industry", I assume you're talking

   Great suggestions -- thank you. I just added an option to sort by length, which should take care of #1. #3 is also a great idea -- I'll see what I can do. Can you walk me through how #2 would work in practice?

    Hey, thanks for the feedback. I added an option to doublecheck the availability when you click an available domain name. Hopefully this will save you a bit of energy.

    Hey, Added two filter options for ya'll: alphabetical and by length.

    As a website operator, you should not use domain names that are that long. And the search results don't render well :)

    Thanks -- some registered show up as available and vice versa, an unfortunate side effect of the way I'm doing the searches. Am looking into reducing the error rate.

    I don't think it's spam. Instant Domain Search is a great site, but you still need to be creative in order to know what to search for. Lean Domain Search does it for you.

    Fair points -- There should be a lot of value in being the first site people visit when searching for a domain name though. We'll see.

    Interesting color. Anyone else have any recommendations on what to change the green domains to?
17. 347.▲
    by matt1 15y ago

    Gotcha -- I misunderstood. For complicated reasons, sometimes a registered domain will show up as available. This should only happen in less than 1% of cases and I'm working on reducing it to zero.

    I'd like to check it out. matt@leandomainsearch.com FWIW, I plan on adding an option to automatically search for synonyms down the road.

    by matt1 15y ago

    Yeah, I mostly do light sites and figured I'd try something different here. Will A/B test down the road maybe. All of the results are returned at once so it wouldn't make sense to show them individually (go JSONP!).

    I like your first impressions -- I laughed. Anyone else seeing very faded sidebars like that? I don't know what would cause that; if you have the technical skills do inspect it on your end to find out, please let me know. Can you elaborate

    Not using Twitter bootstrap. I shut it down for a few reasons, primarily because Preceden ( http://www.preceden.com ), the tool I built after it, was doing quite well and I wasn't disciplined enough at the time to run two sites at once. Liv

    Thanks -- I've heard this from a few other folks too. Any recommendations on the shade of green/red to make it?

    Magic (and a lot of experimentation).

    I knew this would come up :) I am relying on affiliate revenue for income and like it or not, GoDaddy is the largest registrar in the world. That doesn't mean its inclusion is automatic, but IMO GoDaddy is not evil enough to warrant removin

    Great ideas, especially about filtering by starts with vs ends with. Appreciate it.

    Thanks Jayson. I've considered adding Domain Pigeon-style domain names to a separate section of Lean Domain Search, but as you note there's also a lot of value it keeping it simple ("do one thing well"). So we'll see what people want. Agree

    by matt1 15y ago

    Some searches only result in a few available domain names. There's not much I can do about that other than generate and check more domain names (which I will in the future). It's the nature of whatever you're searching for; commerce (and mo

    by matt1 15y ago

    Thanks -- Even if there's not a live site, that doesn't mean you can simply purchase the domain name. Also, my gut says that most people don't want to pay a lot for their domain names and would not use the sale/auction availability indicato

    Thanks for the feedback. Excluding the other TLDs, how are Domain Tools's results better? Looking through the 20 that you linked to, they seem much poorer than Lean Domain Search's, though I admit I am a bit bias. Also, IMO other TLDs do

    Hey guys, About three years ago I built and launched Domain Pigeon, a web app that listed available web 2.0-style domain names each day [1]. The site did fairly well, but it was my first foray into web apps and I lacked the experience to gr
