Searching for domains by fluffy_lobster on 04-12-2005 at 04:29 PM
I was wondering if anyone of a site or technique that can find domains in a whois database based on the name or address or other whois details attached to the domain. I need a list of domains that someone has registered.
Cheers

That would be quite dodgy... you could possibly find out about domain names that weren't meant to be public yet... 
... /me wants that search ability as well

Indeed you could find out about domain names that aren't meant to be public. But google does that anyway, when a new domain is added to the dns register it goes to the domain to try crawling it straight away. Some spammers do the same, and send emails to sales@ or info@ the new domain.
Obviously if the whois details are withheld then it wouldn't work, as stated in the second link. But for the ones that aren't, like the domains that I'm looking for, at the very least a bot could collect the info into a database as domains were added. Tis a shame if this doesn't exist.
