[Dnsmasq-discuss] dnsmasq doesn't pick up search domains

[Benzler, Andreas (INE)]

To clarify the question:

In principial the search part of resolv.conf is a client side solution,
but in the other hand why we can not picked it up? 

I saw many questions about:  Why dnsmasq do take no use of "search".

Simple users do think this way.

The domain option doesn't take the effect, because it isn't that kind
of option.

Greetings

Andy
