Please don't encourage using "search" in resolv.conf or the Windows equivalent. Search domains make queries take longer, impose unnecessary load on resolvers and make diagnosis of issues harder because, when users say "it doesn't work" you have no idea what it was that didn't work.
This is not necessarily the case. If you are running your own recursive resolvers that hold mirrors of the root zone, and if you only have a few search domains, the impact will be negligible. Then it is a question of ergonomics.
I tried using separate subdomains for different interfaces on devices once and ran into exactly that problem. There's also the overhead of maintaining more zones than you really need.
Using sub-domains doesn't mean you have to create separate zones. All the example names I gave could be included in the "example.com" zone.
