The Keyword Variation Checker is a tool I wrote using the Google Web API. It will go through all kinds of variations of a given keyword and google the result. All that was needed is a little text-file with possible endings for a word from a free dictionary I found online. For example, the word is “Googl”, then I append “ology”, “ist”, “y”, and so on. —Philipp Lenssen —Googling Word Variations (Outer Court)
Cool idea. Too bad this isn’t actually available to the general public.
Google offers lots of cool features, like the synonym search.

Line-breaks… yes, I should probably look into adding that feature. For now, you can use <br>.
I like the “-orama” variations… and often they’re still uninhibited… in fact, I registered and run http://www.authorama.com and think it’s a great domain name! Will have to check if my variation-googler includes “-orama”.
Another related tool is the Domain-Check, here for Fisk and Fiskorama:

(By the way, last time I posted I think my line-breaks were ignored…)
Thanks… Using this tool, I found some useful variations of the verb “fisk”: fiskable, fiskage, fiskee, fiskesque, fiskette (I never would have thought of that one), a reference to Fisk University, the Fiskie Award, fiskify, fiskile, fiskish, fiskism, … the list goes on. Not found on Philipp’s list: fiskorama. Quick! Some enterprising reader with more time than I have — register http://www.fiskorama.com and start an archive of fiskability!
Even though the tool is not openly public, I didn’t attempt to really hide it either. Here it is:

(I might add a little feature by tonight, since 300-something results often let the page time-out.)
