If you need that feature, and are willing to pay, check out the Demandbase API. I can't find any public websites documenting their API, but this Ruby gem gives an overview: https://github.com/leereilly/demandbase.
Andrew from Clearbit here. You can definitely search by domain using our Company API (http://clearbit.com/docs#company-api). Is that what you are looking for?
I was impressed when it located the tiny company I current work for (The Day News & Media) but less impressed that it couldn't find the enormous multinational I used to work for (John Wiley & Sons). Where does it source the data from?
Ah, looks like we have John Wiley & Sons listed as Wiley, which seems to be how they are typically known. Aliases would be an interesting feature though!
I have been using clearbit the last few months and it really is a great service with the best api docs and versioning I have seen to date (a la stripe). We use clearbit for company, persona, compliance, and prospect data.

Clearbit is more narrowly focused on business apis, but in my experience Clearbit does a better job with company/persona data globally than orb intelligence, everstring, relateiq, madisonlogic.
Feature request: Better api key management to easy manage multiple environments (upgrading api versions between dev/prod)
Great question. We have loads of Sinatra services running on CoreOS (using Fleet and Git for deploys) http://blog.clearbit.com/servers-part-one. From there we have a contrib Gem to share middleware between the services. These middlewares handle Auth, Rate limiting, CORS, etc.
Either there's an off-by-one error or there's a weird design decision. Typing "y c" doesn't include the "c" in the search (so it lists websites like Yahoo first) but "y co" finds Y Combinator.
I work for credibility.com (https://credibility.com/search), and we get our data from Dun & Bradstreet. Our search seems to have more results (~18MM docs).

Improved API Key management is on the roadmap!
Checked out the Clearbit API and I didn't see that type of data in there.
"What happens if I go over my plan's alloted requests?" => "What happens if I go over my plan's allotted requests?"
Really neat service!
