Greetings!
Domain name providers *want* to sell you registrations, so they are
very good about providing the sort of fuzzy name suggestions you are
seeking.

There are many more registrars that will offer suggestions for domain
names. A large list of InterNIC-accredited registrars can be found
here:

Bear in mind that once you settle on your choice(s), you can usually
go through any Registrar to purchase that domain. You will want to
select a Registrar based on not only their prices and the features
that they include, but on their reputation and quality as well.

thanks for attemping to answer my question in a timely
manner,however,the answer was totally different from what I expected.

end just michael and get
michaeljackson.com,aboutmichaeljackson.com,www.michael-jackson.beginthier.nl,www.allmichaeljackson.com,www.michael-jackson-world.freewebspace.com/
.

Ah!
Then what you want are Google's special advanced search features
"inurl", "allinurl", "intitle" and "allintitle":
inurl:Michael
(Note that you are going to get a lot of results this way)
://www.google.com/search?q=inurl%3AMichael
You can narrow your results by including additional search terms
anywhere within the site, or just within the url, for example:
Jackson inurl:Michael
://www.google.com/search?q=Jackson+inurl%3AMichael
allinurl:Michael Jackson
://www.google.com/search?q=allinurl%3AMichael+Jackson
"intitle" refers to the page title defined within the html <title>
</title> tags, and is another useful way to search for sites by using
names.
Jackson intitle:Michael
://www.google.com/search?q=Jackson+intitle%3AMichael
allintitle:Michael Jackson
://www.google.com/search?q=allintitle%3AMichael+Jackson+
You can learn more about these and Google's other Advanced Search Operators here:
://www.google.com/help/operators.html
I hope that *this* Clarification provides exactly the information you were seeking!

thanks this is more like it. To get a 100percent rating instead of
like a 90 could you please tell me what query it would be if I want
all sites with something like micheal in the main domain and not in a
subdirectory i.e www.michaeljacko.com and not www.silver.com/micheal
or not www.celebrity.com/pop/micheal . Thanks

Unfortunately, Google has not programmed the "inurl" and "allinurl"
commands to allow exclusion of subdirectories yet.
Just a further note of explanation from Google's Advanced Operators page:
"... [intitle:google search] will return documents that mention the
word "google" in their title, and mention the word "search" anywhere
in the document (title or no).
Putting [intitle:] in front of every word in your query is equivalent
to putting [allintitle:] at the front of your query: [intitle:google
intitle:search] is the same as [allintitle: google search]...
... [inurl:google search] will return documents that mention the word
"google" in their url, and mention the word "search" anywhere in the
document (url or no).
Putting "inurl:" in front of every word in your query is equivalent to
putting "allinurl:" at the front of your query: [inurl:google
inurl:search] is the same as [allinurl: google search]."
Best Wishes,
