Bulk domain name searching

I use GoDaddy for my domains (because of the codes) but it's a real pain having to find available domain names by trial and error, typing something in then finding it's already taken.

Anyone know of a service where you can throw in a bunch of keywords and have it come up with a bunch of available domains based around those words, alternative words, re-ordered words, etc.?

Would make searching for a domain a great deal easier.

    Thank you! It's almost there but not quite. All that does is look at domains that exactly match what I've input but with hyphens between the words as alternatives (and it's pretty slow, and the page doesn't render correctly in Firefox).

    I think what I'd love to find is something that perhaps uses word synonyms to come up with alternates for the words I input. Maybe there isnt anything out there and I should go find a techie to build it! ;)

    In case it's of use to anyone, I found what I was looking for:
    http://nameboy.com

    Although I'll still continue to buy my domains at GoDaddy.com (of course ), nameboy will really help in finding the names I want. One tip, though, the indicators at nameboy.com as to whether the domain is available or not are not 100% accurate, so do some checking before you try and buy.
