Need Help with Whois Search Tool
Author: bfrankel@ix.netcom.com Posted: 3/26/1999; 9:09:03 AM Topic: Need Help with Whois Search Tool Msg #: 4555 Prev/Next: 4554 / 4556
The Whois search is a wonderful tool. You can enter a domain name and get back the name of the organization that owns the domain.But there are a large number of other things that one can do with this search engine. For example, begin a line with "DO" followed by the name of an organization, for example "DO ABC Corp" and you find all the domains registered by ABC Corp.
Add a period following "Corp" and the engine returns all the registrations beginning with "ABC Corp." Turns out there are six hits without a period and eleven hits if the period is supplied.
There is just one problem with the Whois search, the search stops returning results after it finds fifty matches. And displays a message, "Aborting search 50 records found ....."
And since some companies have far more that fifty domains registered it would be very helpful to know all the domains they have registered.
If anyone knows how to tell this engine to bring back all the matches please post the solution.
