I saw that and tried it, but they do exactly the same thing. How do I get Google's "Browse by Name" back?

I figured this out. Just use 4.2.2.1, 4.2.2.2, etc. as your nameservers. Apparently these are also Verizon, but can be used by anyone, are faster, and give the proper error message? that initiates Google's Browse by Name. So now I can type "something" in the address bar and get a Google search for the word "something", while typing "something awful" in the address bar goes directly to somethingawful.com It does its best to go directly to what I was looking for.
