"To single out one record, look it up with "xxx", where xxx is one of the
of the records displayed above. If the records are the same, look them up
with "=xxx" to receive a full display for each record."

This is my favourite:

MICROSOFT.COM.HAS.A.PRESENT.COMING.FROM.HUGHESMISSILES.COM

No doubt some domain manager who was about to be fired put this in! :laugh:

LOL. Interesting. Those big companies would probably send C&D letters if they knew.

If you add the keyword "DO" or "DOMAIN" to your whois request (followed by a space), it will clear the problem right up. No one can get at this from outside of your script though (your script strips spaces).

I'm writing a new whois script for FREEWHO and came across this as useful info for functionality that is only looking to return valid domain whois records (and not matches of all types). FREEWHO currently uses easyWhois from Mark Jeftovic, which glitches as well. It might speed things up a pinch too. Who knows.

Here's the full text from NSI:

WHOIS keywords fall into categories: those that specify the TYPE of
records to search, those that modify the interpretation of the input or
tell the type of output to produce, and those that are commands such as
HELP or QUIT.

The following keywords restrict a search to a certain TYPE of field in the
database:

domain
Finds a domain record. Find out domain name, registrar name, whois server and URL, Nameserver name and IP Addresses, and updated date. For example, "domain netsol.com".

nameserver
Finds nameserver records. Find out nameserver name, registrar name, IP addresses, Whois Server name and URL. For example, 'nameserver DNS.SPRINTLINK.COM' or 'nameserver 101.198.1.101'.

registrar
Finds records for "registrar". Find out Registrar name, mail address, phone number and contact information. For example, 'registrar Network Solutions, Inc.'

<Output keywords>
These keywords control the display of search results:

EXPand or '='
Always expand the long display for a single match to include all the subdisplays.

'~' Never show subdisplays. This is the opposite of '=' or EXPand.

Full or '='
Gives long display for every matching record.

SUMmary Always show a summary line for each match, even if there is only one.
