"showsearch" is related to the "search list" that is used if the domain name you are searching for is not fully qualified (does not end in a dot). Only useful if /etc/resolv.conf has a "search" list (or "domain" has more than two labels which creates an implied search list). See man page for resolv.conf for more.
