Yahoo-s Domain Suggestions has an eye-catching ultramodern Web 2.0 feel. This search interface is done with Ajax (Asynchronous JavaScript and XML) – the latest in web techniques for creating interactive web applications. You’ll notice that the pages are actually never reloaded when searcing. Page elements simply shift around softly, making the user experience dynamic and easy to use.

Lets say we need a name for an interior design site. Typing “interior design“ to the search box produces the following results:

Not all of them are close to ideal, but there are a few that sound good and are actually quite search engine friendly – meaning that they contain the actual words people would be searching for. Note that you have to click on “See more” to view all results.

The speed of looking up over 100 domain names is simply astonishing – new results are returned in less than one second thanks to Ajax.
