Trouble searching domain names - firstword.lastword with no .com, or .uk

[lharr]

Hi there, I'm trying to search a number of different domain options for future use for our company. I'm trying a number in the format firstword.lastword with no .com, or .uk etc. Sometimes they're coming up fine, other times it's only searching lastword.com

Does anyone know why this is, and how I can search the full name? Thanks

@lharr Leave out the "." (period), special characters are not allowed in domain names besides a hyphen.

We've had .network and .foundation though (without any other TLD), and I've tried some others like .ventures or .lending etc which work but others don't. Ideas? Or explanations?
