Uhh, what are you smoking? You can use Google Toolbar to search for the information you seek if an inactive or unregistered domain name (or misspelling) returns an error message.
Example. I am searching for the Starbucks Coffee Company, and, I type in starbukks.com, thinking that's how it's spelled (assume starbukks.com is unregistered). It returns an error message (again, assume this is before VeriSign implemented their stupid, unuseful, undemocratic, national security infringing, intellectual property violating supposedly "helpful" but in reality it's actually hurtful service). I go to Google Toolbar, type in Starbukks Coffee and its trusty spell checker auto-checks my spelling and diverts me to the correct set of listings. Now, isn't that much better? Why would you ever want VeriSign's typosquatting "search" page?
Anyone looked at VeriSign's P/E ratio lately? These guys aren't even profitable, and haven't been for who knows when. Obviously, they're doing something wrong. They are bleeding money, analysts are downgrading their debt to junk status, and it's a financial mess. Meanwhile, their Thawte subsidiary chief executive isn't profitable either, but somehow he manages to find time to go to space [google.com].
