I always value critical feedback. Thank you.

I think you mean that you found a name that was suggested that was not actually available. Unfortunately, this does happen, but in my experience it is less than 1% of the time. The zone files for TLDs are missing some domains which are actually unavailable.

Sorry that you had a frustrating experience.

It's not really frustrating, but just feedback. It's way more than 1% of the time. Type in best and try out the first 5 examples -- 40% of them are inaccurately reported. FWIW every service akin to this has the same issue.
I had 1/10 be inaccurate when I did that, which is still not good enough. Its definitely something that can be addressed. Not easy, but fixable. Thanks for bringing this particular query to my attention.
