Requirements: This script depends on whois. Make sure whois is installed

I found myself searching for a lot of domain names for my project and my clients. I was using the domain search by tools provided by domain registrars like godaddy, namecheap etc. I had two main problems with that approach.

1) These tools aren't fast enough to check the availability in a sense the workflow of a domain search is mostly like okay not this, then what about this, it goes on and on like that. I wanted to know only if the domain is available. I don't want to load a bunch of pretty interface files that slowed me down in the process.

2) The good domains I searched were magically being bought if I don't complete the purchase in a couple of hours or within days.

So, I sat down and wrote this simple script which I've been using for more than a year. I didn't time it but this script should make you 4x more effective in searching domains.
