domain-search can be configured in the 'searches' option in the UI, either with static or "Automatic (addresses only)". So does the DHCP server no honor the send-hostname directive? That may be a Microsoft DNS only option, but I was under the impression that the ISC dhcp server supported that as well. If not, maybe we need to send the other 3 as well, though the comment in 'man dhclient.conf' about encoded on/off doesn't sound very promising. In the end, you should be able to put these options in /etc/dhclient-eth0.conf (or whatever the interface name is) and have them merged in by NetworkManager.
