You have perhaps meant 'http://www.ripe.net/db/whois-free.html'?
http://www.ripe.net/ripencc/search.html is for searching in the
web server content, RFCs etc but not in the RIPE Whois Database.

You might want to use the whois interface's -M switch to query for
'more specifics' for this purpose.

Do

$ whois -r -Tinetnum -M <allocation-prefix>

for each of your allocations to retrieve your assignments, and examine the
results.

I hope this helps.

If you have any more questions, please don't hesitate
to contact <ripe-dbm at ripe.net>.
