Looks like I own around 289,000+ domains that I’m not aware of.
That leaves you with no way to check to make sure you entered the right term, other than typing it again. If you are typing it right but auto-correct is kicking in when you hit enter, even trying again might fail because your site responds fast enough that you might not have time to notice the change before the results page comes up.
Also, it might be helpful when someone searches for a domain at a TLD that you do not support to say on the results page that the TLD is not supported.

You say fun, but in the era of swatting and doxxing, private registrations are often the first line of defense for those who don't have a USPS or ups mail address if they don't have a physical office/address. I would be very careful about how you responsibly disclose any such bugs.
Good point. Poor word choice on my end. Thanks for the note. The stuff we found is not quite that abrasive but very interesting. How would you recommend disclosing?
I think http://whoisology.com has been doing this for ages.

The results page should always show what your search term was. Currently it only shows this when the search finds something. If nothing is found, all it does is tell you that nothing was found.

Another feature request: When entering an IP, there's very little information available on it (only the hosting provider). Would be nice to get latlong, country etc (a la https://www.iplocation.net/).
Because seriously, that is an insanely cool database. I can even find all the sites that share my domain's Cloudflare IPs.
