You have a some options: 1) Change your habits to use a fully qualified domain name; e.g., a domain name that ends with a final/trailing dot. chealth.cano.ca is ambiguous (perhaps not in your brain, but to a computer, it doesn't know that you really mean chealth.canoe.ca. which is absolute). So use http://chealth.canoe.ca./ (note the trailing dot). 2) Don't configure a search option in /etc/resolv.conf as each domain listed in the search is appended to the query in order. E.g., if you have centroid.eu and google.com in your search, then your DNS resolver will take chealth.canoe.ca and append centroid.eu., attempt to resolve it but fail. Then it will take chealth.canoe.ca and append google.com., attempt to resolve it but fail, and then finally it will try chealth.canoe.ca., attempt to resolve it and receive a successful response.
