Afternic search is broken

[Ostrados]

How to search for domains in Afternic?! I tried doing a search I entered a keword into search box and picked .com as the extension then I got a small list of domains with no "see more" option, and the worst part is that all domains where non .com except one!!

I just tried a term and got the same thing. It gave me a list of exact matches to the term, but no multiple word names with .com extension (somewhat surprisingly did give me a couple in another TLD), even thought I left the search default at .com setting.

I think in general search should show exact matches unless the user has chosen to ignore them, but the TLD choice needs to be made clear and followed.

Thanks for alerting us to this.

Afternic's search has been broken for a long time. But Godaddy's search is also broken at the moment. They're beta testing a new advanced search but it isn't working. Try searching at Godaddy for any domain you own that's listed at Godaddy (or Afternic and therefore should be seen at Godaddy). The listing flashes for a second and then disappears. @Joe Styler

So what is the point of Afternic if search is broken? dont tell me thet rely only on Godaddy's basic domain search.. that would be horrible for domainers! killing sales and reducing the already slim selling chances

@Ostrados The point of Afternic is their premium network so your listed domains will be seen across many marketplaces. But naturally having a search that works should be obvious. I don't think it ever worked properly. I told their support a few years ago that the search is broken but nothing happened.

Is anybody else getting no results when searching at Godaddy using Chrome? No matter which domain I search for, the listing flashes for a second and then I end up on this page:

Yet another glitch, search for your own listed domain using the extension... xxxx.com, and it won't even show up in the results...

I just tried and it works for me. I enter the complete domain name with dot, ignore the pull down TLD, and it does show a list with my exact name at top.

is a glitch, on and off...
