Yep. That's a problem. It sounds to me like we want to do the DNS
lookup on barewords, even knowing it will fail the vast majority of

A significant question: is the root DNS infrastructure ready for
the number of queries that would generate? If every single-word
search query goes out as a DNS query, each new word makes it to
the root servers as a TLD query before generating an NXDOMAIN reply.
Will this DDOS the DNS root servers?
