From the Experts
The Domain Names database, available online exclusively on Dialog, contains two types of records (WhoIs and WhoWas records) for domain names that define the ownership history of a domain name. The WhoIs record contains the most recent information regarding a domain name. Previous information about that domain name is found in the WhoWas records. Although a domain name may have several WhoWas records, it will only have one WhoIs record in the database. The focus is on domain names from all aspects of the public and private sectors.
The following search tips will help you search in the Domain Names Database.
To search for the current registered owner of a domain name, use the ON= prefix. This field can be searched as both a word and a phrase and displayed with /ON.
S1 2 ON=THE COCA-COLA COMPANY
1/ON/1

Search the status of a domain name using the prefix ST= and displayed with /ST.

S2 2 S1 AND ST=REGISTERED

STATUS : Registered |
The WhoIs and WhoWas limits can be used to restrict search results to only current or historical records.
?S3 1 S2/WHOIS
?S4 1 S2/WHOWAS |
These limits can also be used to determine the number of WhoIs and WhoWas records present in the database for any domain name.
