WinWhois -- WinWhois is another example of the no-frills, no
additional features, just do the job asked for application, like
Finger. Again, the layout is plain and simple -- just enter any name
and WinWhois returns all the information available. One useful
option is the ability to quickly call a list of Whois servers. As in the
case of the two previous Finger clients, you can obtain the same
information from many Web sites without having to download this
app. Of course, WinWhois packs into a tight 24 Kb, so it definitely
makes for a quick download. Positives: Plain and simple; does
exactly what it's supposed to do, small footprint Negatives: Many
Web sites will do the same thing without occupying drive
space

Sounds like a primitive search engine...
Google is THE search engine currently. Northernlight.com is not bad either and finds obscure articles, gives you a bit to read then the option of purchasing the entirety for a small sum. Guess I should be posting this in another topic...

No whois is a basic unix utility and this is still userful. whois shows you if a domain name is registered.
