The text that should be to the right of domain names that aren't available is below them instead.

Thanks for pointing this out.
Iceweasel browser made the font a little bigger than expected.
I will try to fix that.

#33Wow, this is a hugely improved interface over the version you posted a while back. Congrats!

#34When I go to the next page of results, I see a loading graphic for the last ten results on the new page. However, you're loading 15 new results each time. The user should always see the first new result when loading a new page. Scroll me back up to the top of the results, or just add the new results to the existing page instead of replacing them.

#35How about the ability to limit results to only contain names that are of a certain length? Would be great if I was searching for a short domain name.

This feature is going be implemented soon. Stay tuned!

#38All that help text is not really necessary. You could get rid of it. Nobody will read 3 paragraphs of small text to figure out how to use your site. Encourage people to just try it. Make the form the center of attention. Don't be afraid to bump up the font size a bit more. You could move the language checkboxes down to a second line. The "Create" button could be bigger and more obvious. Make it say "Go" or "Search".
I actually did read the help text, but it only left me confused, because the lines don't clearly match up to the text boxes. I had a moment of "oh, where do I adjust the quality?" before I realized that it was just referring to the first text box. I'd do away with it.

#39The back button is currently broken; searching for a new wordoid doesn't add anything to the history. When I visited the site, I first searched for wordoids containing something, and then I wanted to go back to the completely random wordoids. I clicked the back button, but I found it didn't work. A clear button for the search box would also work instead, but I think people would want to go to previous searches more than they would want to clear the fragment box.
I also didn't read the help text below the form until I read a comment about it, so I didn't need it, but it wasn't distracting. The quality help text doesn't tell me anything more than the form tells me, but it was helpful to find out about the 10 character fragment limit and the blending languages strategy. Perhaps you could replace it with a "tips" section, or put it under a link that says " > Help" with a right arrow that drops down the help when you click on it.
