I really like the new setup. It's much less confusing than it was before.

I've used it every few days since you first announced it here - it's pretty fun to play around with.

I don't know how feasible it is to do this, but instead of prefix and suffix, I would really like to be able to use wildcards in my search. For example, say I'm looking for a domain that starts with the word "dog" and ends with "cat" or "cats"; I would like to be able to search "dog*cat?" instead of 2 boxes over 2 searches (one for the "cat" suffix and one for the "cats" suffix).

I third the wildcard and make it represent multiple missing letters, not just one letter per wildcard.
I'd like to second this request. I absolutely adore your search engine but regex/wildcards would be the cherry on top.

Doesn't hurt that I'm in the market for a domain. :D

Edit: Can you add purchasing in-page? Perhaps eventually add one-click purchasing? It'd be an obvious way to monetize and add convenience.
