No.  But /etc/resolv.conf does if you installed minires.

Haven't tried it myself but adding 'search domain.whatever' in /etc/resolv.=
conf
might work.

Sure way to do it: add the search domains in Windows' "Advanced TCP/IP Sett=
ings"
for your network card, in the append... options of course.

No dice.
