How to know if a new domain name is banned

[sren]

This is from an old post:
----------
What is intersting is the way google displays banned domains versus unregistrered/no-content domains. Here is what is says when you search for "domain.com" if it is banned:
Sorry, no information is available for the URL domain.com
* Find web pages that contain the term "domain.com"

And here is how it looks if not banned:
Sorry, no information is available for the URL domain.com
* If the URL is valid, try visiting that web page by clicking on the following link: domain.com
* Find web pages that contain the term "domain.com"
------------

Is this still working?
I looks like any search will return as not banned.
