On the other hand, how many people look at this configuration file? > I did some tests with host(1), and I didn't see the local search domain appended to the hostname I queried. Perhaps it happens if the query fails or times out? But the default for ndots is 1, and systemd- resolved (current version in resolute) even says that it is ignored, and queried hostnames with a dot anywhere are always treated as an FQDN and do not get the search domain appended. While testing this again a couple months ago, I discovered that various DNS clients/librairies have indeed different settings and behaviors and can treat the same search domains input differently. For sure the trailing dot silenced a lot of bogus queries and noise when it was added, this was confirmed by multiple users. Maybe it does not make a difference now.
