Abstract
Systems and methods for searching domain names and owner information in a search tool involve networked databases, indexers, text indexes, and a server. The networked databases store domain names and owner information associated with the domain names. The indexers index suffixes of the domain names and of text-searchable portions of the owner information that have a minimum length of characters, and the text indexes store the indexed suffixes. In response to a search request, the server searches the text indexes for a matching domain name and/or matching owner information that satisfy the search request, queries the networked databases for corresponding owner information associated with the matching domain name and/or corresponding domain names associated with the matching owner information, and provides search results that include the matching domain name and the corresponding owner information and/or the matching owner information and the corresponding domain names.
