Tried that, and it started using the DHCP-provided search path (yay!). Setting the search path in NetworkManager (which is responsible for the interface in question) works, ie. honors the search path and doesn't break resolving for those domains, with both single and multiple search paths:
[ipv4] dns-search=disy.inf.uni-konstanz.de;inf.uni-konstanz.de;uni-konstanz.de method=auto [ipv6] addr-gen-mode=stable-privacy dns-search=disy.inf.uni-konstanz.de;inf.uni-konstanz.de;uni-konstanz.de method=auto Having to do this for each connection and for both IPv4 and IPv6 sucks, but it's better than not having a search path. Trying to set the search path to Domains=ubuntu.com globally in resolved.conf still breaks ubuntu.com, of course. Out of curiosity, I then put this in resolved.conf: Domains=uni-konstanz.de inf.uni-konstanz.de disy.inf.uni-konstanz.de ubuntu.com This works for the domains listed in the interface, honoring the search path and correctly resolving both short (git) and long (git.uni- konstanz.de) domains. But it breaks resolution completely for ubuntu.com and subdomains. So: Does systemd-resolved need to have a network interface "associated" with each search domain?? This is very much not how DNS works but it's a boundary case that might be easy to get wrong. (This is all on the 17.10 VM, and with resolved.conf empty apart from [Resolve] and the Domains= line, where mentioned.) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to systemd in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1714803 Title: Search list in resolv.conf breaks resolving for that domain Status in systemd package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Ubuntu 17.04 systemd 232-21ubuntu5 Adding a domain to the search list in /etc/resolv.conf breaks resolving for that domain. Not only does the search list not get used as expected, but host names in the domain cannot be resolved by systemd-resolved at all. I just ran into this after upgrading from ubuntu 16.04 to 17.04 which enabled systemd-resolved. I have for a long time used resolveconf to add a 'search my-domain'-line to my /etc/resolv.conf.
