Six Search Types

Domain Name Pro has six searches to choose from. Each has a different function. To select a

search click the appropriate tab in the centre of the window.

Deciding which search you should use depends on what you are trying to achieve. The following

table lists the searches and their uses.

Starting a Search

Most of the time you will want to search immediately. Sometimes however it can be beneficial to

schedule a search to start at a later time, such as when performing a large search (thousands of

domain names) which you would like to perform when no one is using your Internet connection,

say late at night.
