Never do a domain search unless you are ready to buy immediately. By<br />
"immediately" I mean IMMEDIATELY.<br />
<br />
I've found, for example, that searching for "<a href="http://surname.com" target="_blank">surname.com</a>" and not buying<br />
it immediately will result in someone ELSE buying the domain and<br />
stockpiling it.<br />
<br />
Thus isntead of paying $10 or $20 or $50, the domain is held hostage for<br />
$500.<br />
<br />
Just my $.02. YMMV... but don't bank on it.<br />
