search Search list for host-name lookup.
The search list is normally determined from the local domain
name; by default, it contains only the local domain name. This
may be changed by listing the desired domain search path follow‐
ing the search keyword with spaces or tabs separating the names.
I expect that what you want the line to say is 'search .'
The line is, in fact, not correctly parsable, although I suppose the
intent could be divined.
