Before we try anything else tell us:

D) What happens when you plug into your DSL modem

No, it has nothing to do with anything. All the search domain does (I
already explained this) is add ".no-domain-set.bellcanada" to the end of
any DNS query your system makes to an unqualified domain (e.g., "foo" as
opposed to "foo.bar"). Which means that, in all the cases you showed, it
does nothing useful (queries to unqualified domains would time out in half
the time, though, if you didn't have it at all).

I give up. DNS doesn't work that way. SO REMOVE IT. I promise you it will
make NO difference, but it's obviously the only thing you'll trust. It
will get changed back next time you configure an interface,
n't there anything in syslog? You really need to know what it's waiting
