.search domain extension

The .search domain is a generic top-level domain. It is operated by Charleston Road Registry Inc., a company closely affiliated with Google. The domain name is meant to reflect a namespace for search related services and applications. There are no specific eligibility restrictions beyond general domain registration rules, but the domain is likely to be used primarily by Google for its search products. The registry backend is managed by Google infrastructure. The domain was delegated in June 2017. This makes it a relatively newer addition to the generic TLD space. While any registrant could technically attempt to register a .search domain, Google controls the registry. The broader plan for .search has always been to create a direct channel for search oriented internet addressing.
