This is a demo for a search engine SaaS I've been working on.

Any critique / feedback would be much appreciated; some examples of search functionality:

- https://domainwho.is/search?q=uk+distance%2851.506558%2C+-0....

- https://domainwho.is/search?q=face*

- https://domainwho.is/search?q=google+tld%3Acom

- https://domainwho.is/search?q=intitle%3Agolang

- https://domainwho.is/search?q=registrant.contact.email%3Adns...

- https://domainwho.is/search?q=tld%3Aio+order%3Aalexarank-asc

- https://domainwho.is/search?q="中国"+%7C+"中國"+roottld%3Acn

This is running on a single server instance at the moment, so apologies in advance if some of the queries are slow.

EDIT: You can also submit domains here: https://domainwho.is/submit

Indexing is real-time, so supported domains should be indexed moments after submission (if crawling was a success).

I searched for an exact domain I own (artsfuse.com) and it didn't find it, but it returned the .org version (artsfuse.org). Same result for "artsfuse*" Any idea how some are overlooked?
Sadly this is a limitation of the design. The index is built from domain data etc; the crawl list contains hundreds of millions of domains, but the system has only indexed 3.6 million so far over the past few days :(

I initially started with the Alexa top million, so coverage there should be good, so long as the TLD is supported.
