Domain Pigeon was a brilliant site, I mourned its loss. It's wonderful to see that you've built a new site.
The execution is simple and easy to use. I'd be conservative when it comes to adding features or futzing too much with the UX. I find the color scheme very readable, although of course that might be different for some people. Thumbs up from me.
A post-search filtering mechanism might be useful, although of course you'll want to balance the benefit of a feature like that with the impact it would have on the elegance and simplicity of the design.
I've considered adding Domain Pigeon-style domain names to a separate section of Lean Domain Search, but as you note there's also a lot of value it keeping it simple ("do one thing well"). So we'll see what people want.
Agreed on the post-search filtering. Other than alphabetical and by length, is there any other way you'd like to filter it?
I'm a fan of the filters that NXDom provides: http://www.nxdom.com/
I suppose it's as much about sorting as it is about filtering, actually. I particularly like their ability to sort by length and readability.
