It is also not one of those domain services that append suffixes or prefixes to the domain name. It actually provides a pretty unique domain search.

It searches for domains that make use of both the domain name, subdomains, the extension and directories to create a del.icio.us domain name. In the case of del.icio.us del is the subdomain, icio the domain name and us the domain extension. The creating of those fun names is blazing fast and makes heavy use of Ajax to avoid page loading times.

One thing that’s missing however are actual lookups if the domain name can be registered. Domain finder presents all possible domain name combinations even if they have already been registered.

It would be nice if the lookup would be included. Another option that would fit well would be to link directly to some domain registrants to register the domain name if the lookup revealed that it was still available.
