Well, I don't know what's the worst ...
And honestly, when you're genuinely confused, you believe and follow the 
advice of the ones who know ...

So, I got curious about his claim : "that change to resolv.conf adding 
the search line [search hosts, nameserver] has been required since red 
hat 5.0 in 1998".
(The bracket addition is mine)

I'm not using RHEl-based systems a lot so I may be wrong, and there's 
not a lot of material left from the 1998 web, but the resolv.conf file 
*looks* identical in RHEL-based systems, at least nowadays.
I quickly browsed a few RH help pages about resolv.conf, but couldn't 
find his claim.

I then searched for "search hosts, nameserver" on search engines (-with- 
the quotes, to only get full-match results).
Either I get no results or ... wait for it ... it *ONLY* gives me 
results where Gene posted !

So Gene, can you tell us where you read this ?

If you didn't read it somewhere, are you using it because :
- it always has been in your config files, which you created at a time 
you didn't really know what you were doing,
- or you followed advice from someone who claimed he knew,
- or it was in a wrongly pre-configured system and you blindly copied 
the stanza ?
