I don't know of anywhere that would do that exactly. First, it would be extremely heavy on computer resources to do that. Even leaving out hyphens and numbers, the following shows you what would have to be searched to find your answer per TLD:

3 letters - 17,576 possible combinations
????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/domain-newbies/119130-how-to-find-unregistered-domain-names.html
4 letters - 456,976 possible combinations
5 letters - 11,881,376 possible combinations
6 letters - 308,915,776 possible combinations
7 letters - 8,031,810,176 possible combinations....etc.

If you figure their are up to 63 charcters allowed, the above doesn't include numbers or hyphens, and this is for only 1 TLD, you start to see why this type search would be processor and bandwidth intensive, even before sorting and returning only unregistered combinations. No registry would allow that type of intense and broad searching.

Your best bets are to try whois.sc's bulk search where you can use keywords to find names, or domainsbot's pay service which keeps a database of deleted but yet un-reregistered names.

i know for sure that godaddy had that possibility as an advansed search couple mounth ago. but they changed it into different way of search. Now it is just adding preffixes or suffixes, or recomending another similar words. But before i could type where aa for example and it was showing al letter combinations wich is starting like that. So i was thinking, if godaddy had that, when may be some another place still have it?

All unregistered? For which extensions? I could do it for you but you probably don't have the bandwidth or drive space to store a list of even relatively short .coms. And there is no way you're going to have the time to sort through a few hundred billion names so what's the point? I think you'll need to narrow your search a bit more

thats correct, it was all unregistered, and extention you had to choose for see whats available. No thanks i dont want it is to be made personally for me, i just wonder, if godaddy had this, may be some another sites still have this option. That was so easy to see. I assume , that they closed it because it was eating lots of bandwith.
