    I'm sure this has been discusses before, but...I've noticed that when I search domain name availability and don't buy right away, the name is often gone. Could be coincidence, but I've also heard of "frontloading" or "tasting."

    What is the best place to search for available names without risking them being snatched up by the registrar?

    I've been using GoDaddy to purchase, but have searched NetworkSolutuons and a few others.

    Thanks

    Never use Network Solutions for searching. That's the reason: http://www.dotsauce.com/2008/01/08/networksolutions-scandal-hijacking-domain-searches/

    You can use moniker.com or namecheap.com safely for searching domain names.
