The problem is that if systemd-resolved wants to conform to the proper 
format of /etc/resolv.conf, it OUGHT to fail here.

The bug is in the generation of /etc/resolv.conf, not in systemd.

A utility like "host" uses /etc/resolv.conf directly, and thus naturally 
should also depend on the search directive.

Systemd-resolved in this case functions correctly.

On a non-systemd system, the same would have happened.
