club drop list search

[Peter]

Hi all

Just been doing some coding for a little while (learning php)

Just quickly knocked up

http://www.flexiwebhost.com/drop_list/index.php

free for anyone to use if you have any suggestions or come across any problems please let me know.

I will be adding many more functions for example google pr, link popularity etc as time goes on.

1 small note however pagination is not setup yet so beware if you type something that will have alot of results your browser may get pretty full :red:

P.S. If you use and find it usefull then of course feel free to donate some NameBucks to encourage me to continue to develop it.

I get no results even with popular keywords like "sex" "adult" and "host".

remember to use the wildcards for example doing a search for sex* would bring up

SEX-DREAMING.com
SEXCEPTIONAL.net

also trying *sex will get you

CELEBS-SEX.com
MYREALSEX.com

these are just a couple there are many more that come up.

also say you want to search for 3 char domains you could put &&& this will display all results that have 3 chars or for 4 chars &&&& etc etc (you could also try s&x which could for example match sax, six etc)

doing a search for a word on its own will not currently give you a result unless there is a perfect match but this will be fixed soon.

I see. You may want to consider switching the functionality of * and &, as most of the time these are taken to mean as:

* - wildcard signifying any number of characters
& - wildcard signifying exactly one character

Still, looks like you're off to a good start. :tu:

As suggested I have switched the functionality of '*' and '&'.

'*' now indicates any 1 char.
'$' now indicates any amount of chars.
