I have been to Verisign and can search 10 domain names at a time to
see if they are available. I would like to find a couple of places
where I can search for far more domains at one time. Searching on the
Verisign site has been very easy and I don't have to encounter a bunch
of pop-up ads or other distractions that keep me from being able to
search quickly and efficiently. I am seeking the same type of
performance and efficiency.

Thanks,
Joel

Hi Joel,

Thanks for your question. Here are a couple sites that allow you to
search for more than 10 domain names at a time. Let's work our way up
slowly...

Domain Avenue.com (up to 20)
http://domainavenue.com/multiple.htm

Register Bulk Domain Registration (allows up to 30)
http://www.register.com/DisplayMultiName.cgi?
[If this link doesn't work directly, go to http://www.register.com,
click on the "Register your Web Address" tab on top and then click on
"Multi-name Registration".]

And the winner is:

Cyber Solutions (no specified number; I tried 35 and it worked)
http://www.cybersolution.biz/cgi-bin/zaygo.cgi

None of these sites have any pop-up ads that jump into your face
during the search and all allow you to copy and paste text files with
filenames.

If you have any further clarification requests, please don't hesitate
to post one and I'll be happy to help you.

Best wishes,
gwagner-ga

Hi Joel,

Thanks for your 5 stars and the tip! Just in case Cyber Solutions
turns out to have an (unwritten) limit on the number of domains you
can check, it looks like robertskelton-ga has found another great
alternative: GoDaddy (Please refer to the link in his comment below).
With a limit of 500, you'll only need to split up your 1800 names into
4 searches at most...

Good luck!

Multiple domain check for your search criteria...do I feel like an
idiot or what...well I guess I can take comfort in the fact that your
the expert..and I'm not even close.

Joel,

There are also:

GoDaddy - 500 names at once
https://registrar.godaddy.com/bulkregister.asp

RegisterFly - 300 names at once 
http://www.registerfly.com/multi/index.php

For each you need to include the domain extension, like .com
