premium domains search leaking domain search data?

hi, when you do a whois search to register a domain, theres a checkbox to search for Premium domains, is this search done offline, as in you have a local database of premium domains that you search in or is it done at a 3rd party? in that case, isnt it leaking our whois search domains? it might be best to turn it off by default if it is

thanks

Hello,

You can select which TLDs you would like on default for your account.

How do I save my domain search TLD settings?

Are you always searching for domain names on the same top-level domains (TLDs)? Let us help you narrow your search by TLD! You can set up a what we call "search TLD settings" that will put the TLDs you want to search at the top of all of our searches including our advanced search and IDN search.

To set up your search TLD settings, please follow these steps:

Sign in to your Dynadot account.
Select "My Domains" from the left-side menu bar and click on "Domain Defaults" in the drop-down.
Click on the "Search TLD Settings" button.
You can set each TLD to either "Hide", "Show", or "Default". "Show" means that TLD will be checked-off on our advanced search page, while "Hide" means it won't be. Default will only check-off the TLDs that our system has defaulted to check-off.
Press the "Save" button to save your changes.

Let us know if you need any assistance.

Best Regards,

consider this a feature request, if possible, can we have that premium domains checkbox unchecked by default? or at least remember it per account so that if i uncheck it, it would remain that way

i was in the situation where checking for a domain, i found it registered the other day, i know its not probably from the premium domains thing, and just 2 people having the same idea, but i think it would be better not having to remember to uncheck it

Hello,

The Premium domain search is done by third parties. To opt out of this search please uncheck the premium domains box.
