Domain sweep from keywords

Domain sweep research starts before WHOIS. A founder often has a prefix, a word pattern, or a small dictionary of pinyin, number, and product terms. QName AI turns those raw pieces into normalized domain candidates so a domain sweep can stay precise instead of becoming a messy spreadsheet.

The sweep page keeps dictionary selection, prefix input, suffix input, and generated candidates in one focused surface. Built-in dictionaries cover common number, letter, pinyin, and startup-word patterns. Cloud dictionaries let logged-in users preserve their own naming vocabulary for repeat domain sweep sessions.

After generation, the candidate list moves into bulk WHOIS without running a query automatically. That pause matters because a domain sweep can create hundreds of options. Users can review the generated domains, trim the list, then run bulk WHOIS only when the candidate set is intentional.

A direct domain sweep is the fastest path when every line is already a complete brand word. Deselect every dictionary, paste one keyword per line, and keep .ai as the only suffix. In this domain sweep mode, lunni becomes lunni.ai; QName AI does not append a dictionary word or run WHOIS automatically.

Each domain sweep applies the same normalization before generation. QName AI lowercases labels, removes duplicates, strips unsupported characters, trims edge hyphens, and ignores empty input. Commas and semicolons also separate keywords, so a copied spreadsheet row can become a clean domain sweep without manual reformatting. The keyword counter makes a predictable domain sweep easier to audit against the final candidate count.

Select a dictionary only when the domain sweep should combine parts, such as get + maker + .ai. Leave dictionaries unselected when words such as lunni, lutta, or nitta are already final. The direct domain sweep and combinatorial domain sweep share the same 1000-candidate limit and the same review step before bulk WHOIS.

A useful domain sweep tool is not just a Cartesian product of every possible string. QName AI normalizes each prefix and dictionary entry into a domain-safe label, removes duplicate labels, lowercases the list, and trims edge hyphens before any suffix is attached. That keeps the generated domains readable and reduces noisy failures later in bulk WHOIS.

The order of the output is predictable: prefixes first, dictionary words second, suffixes third. If the prefix box is empty, QName AI uses an empty prefix and scans the dictionary words directly. If the suffix box contains .com, ai, and co.uk, those suffixes are normalized into the same sweep run, so a team can compare common startup endings and regional endings together.

The 1000-domain handoff limit mirrors the bulk WHOIS checker. It gives a generous batch for a naming session while still keeping the browser responsive. When a domain sweep creates more than 1000 combinations, QName AI shows the original combination count and sends only the first 1000 candidates forward for review.
