	I wonder whether you really need the ongoing overhead of administering
	search lists, and dealing with the related confusion when something
	goes wrong.

	Is there a reason why your clients (humans or software) can't
	be persuaded to use fully qualified domain names?  E-mail addresses
	and URLs generally need FQDN already.  Abbreviated host names for
	terminal access are easily configured using ssh (OSX, *ix) or PuTTY.
