Slightly off topic here, I have been trying to find a way to get more than 10 records from a whois lookup on netsol.
If you lookup by name (company/person name, not domain) for "Microsoft" there might be 100 records that match, but you only get 10. I also know that you can use keywords so that "do microsoft*" will return all domains that start with "Microsoft." I could sort of get around the 10 record limit by doing a boolean, like "na Microsoft AND do a*" and so on down the alphabet, and at least I would get ten domains for each letter of the alphabet.

Of course, that whole market has gone bust - the Internet economy is in bad shape, so a good domain doesn't guarantee anything, and quality indexes like Google mean you don't need to have a good name to find what you're looking for. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jim McAtee" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "CF-Talk" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, January 24, 2002 10:54 AM Subject: Re: Good WHOIS > I use Lewis' nicname cfx as well.
