Searching

72

A simple search is equivalent to performing an 

advanced

 search where each word is entered into a

separate word group, with all word groups set to a position of Anywhere, all word groups set to

Optional, and all word groups set to the same number of 

thesaurus alternatives

. This means that

all search terms entered will be checked in all possible combinations. This is sometimes not

desirable, and therefore the simple search will sometimes display domain names that don t meet

your requirements. You can simply ignore or filter these domain names from the results table, or

use the 

advanced

 search for more control.

You can save and load the 

word list

 entered into the simple search term from the File menu or

alternatively from the popup menu for the search term.

Word Terms Search

The word terms search allows you to easily check domain names that you have already devised

and easily find popular alternatives using words and phrases commonly searched in search engies

to use as domain names or web site keywords.

There are two types of word terms that can be entered:

Plain words in the full domain name.

Wildcard terms using the asterisk (*) character at the start and/or end of the term.

Here are some examples of plain word terms:

stock market investing

home loan

puzzle

digital camera

These exact domain names will be checked. 

Hyphens

, 

popular alternatives

, 

NetSpeak

 ,

acronyms

 and other general options can also be used. See also the 

direct

 search when you know

the full domain name to search and do not want additional name generation features to be used.

Here are some examples of wildcard terms:
