I've never had this happen in 20 years of buying hundreds of domains and searches for thousands. I've been exclusively using NameCheap for 5ish years now, too.

The business model doesn't even make sense. How many domains would Namecheap be rolling the dice on if they did this after a single search?

If billions of domain searches happen every year, we're going to see quite a few coincidences like this. An anecdote is not proof, and it's not like this domain (dnd.quest) was incredibly unique.
