wildcard options. From the Domain Tools home page, go to More Tools and
Services, then select Domain Search.

On this page, you can use three operators to perform wildcard searches:
~ A caret (1\) serves as a Left Anchor to find all domains that start with a
series of letters. So /lsmithson will find will find not only smithsonian. but
smithsonbrothers.
~ A dollar sign ($) serves as a Right Anchor to find all domains that end with a
series of letters. So $afghan will find absolutelyafghan as well as
yellowpageafghan and everything in between.
~ An exclamation point (I) serves to exclude a string of characters. So
[/lpark ling lave] will find domain names that start with park and do not include
the strings ing or ave anywhere in the name, thus eliminating parking or
parkave or parkavenue from the search . In this search I have also chosen to
limit the search to 25 character names, exclude hyphenated domains, show
only active domain names, and turn on the adult content filter .
