Title:
  Resolver ignores search domain from DHCP server

Status in “resolvconf” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Although the search domain is saved to resolv.conf, the resolver is
  not resolving hosts in the search domain.

  Here I'm trying to ping a host whose IP is resolvable via the search
  domain, but ping can't find the IP unless I add the domain name to the
  host name:

  user at accrec2:~$ ping kane
  ping: unknown host kane
  user at accrec2:~$ ping kane.jjhawkins.com.au
