NOT AJAX: PreviewSeek

This isn't an AJAX application, but I was duly impressed that I will break this rule once (heck I did not even break it for our own non-AJAX applications!

Previewseek

The search engine has the most clean (and intuitive) results I have seen in a long time. It nicely elaborates on ambiguous terms - an improvement over the three pane method that google has been testing. It also has some of the cleanest and accurate results I have seen a long term (from common spam areas to hyper-niche areas that also attract a ton of spam). The clustered results are nice too.

I did email them with three points I did not like:

• Small font
• Inability for a 'plain vanilla' version
• Slow

Instant Domain Name Search - domain searching made easy

I search for domains all the time. I even have a subscription to WHOIS.SC. It has a lot of useful information.

One of the biggest pains in the ass when searching for a domain (other than finding out it is owned) is the actual search - it is incredibly slow and cumbersome that I wish to hurt someone. So when I ran into Instant Domain Name Search and tried it out, I instantly loved it.

Not too difficult. Type in what domain you are looking for, and using AJAX it will quickly deliver the results you want. Taken or not, *bam* it lets you know. It also has some handy quick links to Yahoo Suggestions, WHOIS info, and backorder through SnapNames. I would have liked the WHOIS info integrated right there too, but I guess we can't have it all .
