Do you mean to say that the search / domain entry in /etc/resolv.conf do 
/not/ work for dig / host?  (Or am I mis-reading your email?)

Do you know if there is a way to get nslookup* / dig / host to work with 
the search domain?

It was my (mis)understanding that search / domain works for things that 
use the system resolver libraries, which (I believe) nslookup* / dig / 
host bypass and make (unqualified) DNS queries directly.

Please correct me if I'm wrong.
