Here are a few people doing similar things.

There are also a few patents on this concept if I can find the link to the patent I will post.

One comment I have on your site is that you give to many choices (it's not lean) on one page and there is no organization to the choices. Also similar to what others do there should be a way to enter a secondary characteristic.

Oh, here's a bonus benefit to your site that I just noticed and a new place to market using the site.

The ratio of red-registered to green-available is helpful in determining how valuable or in vogue a domain name is that contains a particular word. I would compute a ratio of green to red.

(see as a test "search" or "social" vs. some other less popular word like "opthamology")

Also you don't appear to be checking the actual word that is entered to see if that is available. And you aren't indicating which TLD's so I'm assuming all your suggestions are in .com

Example: "Found 1000 available domains containing "ycombinator""
