Examples:

name.space        (try it!)
namespace.org  (try it!)
oxford.co.uk         (try it!)
xs4all.nl                (try it!)

General Domain Queries:
To search for domains containing a key word:
enter the keyword preceded by a "." as in:

.search  (try it!)

search.    (try it!)
searcha. (try it!)
search-z. (try it!)
