[olug] Dig +search question...

[Dan Linder]

I'm trying to setup a quick BIND9 DNS server for my internal home network
using Ubuntu 11.10 Bind9 packages.

When I run *"dig @localhost titan"* on my DNS server, I don't get an IP
address. When I run *"dig @localhost titan.linder.corp"* I get the answer I
expect.

When researching this, apparently dig has the "+search" option to use the
search field in the /etc/resolv.conf file, then the "*dig @localhost
+search titan*" returns the IP address as expected.

Did this change, or has dig always worked like that?  I am fairly certain a
have run "dig _shortname_" and it worked correctly...
