>From the resolv.conf(5) man page:
search Search list for host-name lookup. The search list is normally
determined from the local domain name; by default, it contains
only the local domain name. This may be changed by listing
the desired domain search path following the search keyword
with spaces or tabs separating the names. Most resolver queries
will be attempted using each component of the search path
in turn until a match is found. Note that this process may
be slow and will generate a lot of network traffic if the
servers for the listed domains are not local, and that
queries will time out if no server is available for one of the
domains.
The search list is currently limited to six domains with a total
of 256 characters.
The last line is important: check that you don't have more than 6
domains listed and do not have more than 256 characters.
If the behavior is not that expected, then it is either a bug in the man
page or in the resolver.
