I addition to my last reply, grep.geek categorizes the search results by 
which alt-root the TLD is associated with.  The ICANN results are simply 
a small set of entries which we have manually put in that point to 
OpenNic- or altroot-specific websites ... for instance, our homepage at 
opennicproject.org, or the wikipedia entry on alternate roots.

if Alt Root is interested in peering with OpenNic, I would make the 
adjustments to the search engine to include your domains as well, and 
that would include a tag so that searches could be performed on ONLY 
your domains.
