Public bug reported:

The Unity network panel offered a means to set DNS search data on fixed
IP connections maintained via NetworkManager in /etc/NetworkManager
/system-coonections/<NAME> dns-search variable.

This feature is absent in 18.04 Gnome's gnome-control-center network
panel.

Lack of the feature means the dns-search variable is unset which also
causes /etc/resolv.conf to leave the search to be unset. This is
unacceptable in a assigned IP address Enterprise environment.

One workaround is to manually edit the NetworkManager system-connections
file after its creation to set the variable.
