Search for available domain names?

[Domainer27]

Hi, webmasterworld friends, I am planning to register some domain names, but, it seems like I have difficulty in searching the available names in an effective way.
Could anyone please be so kind to recommend some good domain search tools?
Much appreciate your support.

Regards.

Hi Domainer27, and welcome to webmasterworld!
I think you may want to google the term "pcnames" or "ajax domain name lookup".

hi, astupidname, thank you for your reply, i will do as you told me.

By the way, is there any good tools to evaluate one domain name? appreciate your further help.

For non-brand domain names the AdWords Keyword Tool is a great domain search tool. Put in a seed keyword, filter on exact matches, get synonyms, download the csv file, paste keywords into a bulk whois tool such (Moniker provides a good one) and voila you might find a gem or 2 - you be surprised how many longtail keywords with search volume are available to register.

(if you like the above then you should check out a FF greasemonkey plugin called 'domains by volume')
