iWhois.com is probably the fastest whois searcher I have ever seen. It's so fast, my eyes water everytime I use it.

And here's how to make it even faster...
  1. Visit http://www.iwhois.com
  2. Select the second (middle) option directly beneath the search box (where it says: "Integrate iWhois search into your Mozilla/ Netscape/ Firefox browser".
  3. This will add it to the search-box on the top-right of your browser.
  4. To search, just type or paste the URL into the box... you no longer have to be on the iWhois website to do so.
Best of all, it ignores spaces between words. Most WHOIS searchers will produce an error if you have any spaces; this won't.

Why should that matter?

Well, in the grand-scheme-of-things, it doesn't but, if, for example, you copy-and-paste keyword combinations to check for domain availability, it saves you having to close the gaps. I know that isn't an enormous time-consumer anyway but every little helps... not to mention the fact that it's just nice to eliminate minor annoyances from your life.

Who needs 'em?
