This. Here's an extract from the oldest debian man page I know of for
this file (from 1995--and people complain about how up to date the
documentation is today!):
domain Local domain name. Most queries for names within
this domain can use short names relative to the
local domain. If no domain entry is present, the
domain is determined from the local host name
returned by gethostname(2); the domain part is
taken to be everything after the first `.'.
Finally, if the host name does not contain a domain
part, the root domain is assumed.
search Search list for host-name lookup. The search list
is normally determined from the local domain name;
by default, it begins with the local domain name,
then successive parent domains that have at least
two components in their names. This may be changed
by listing the desired domain search path following
the search keyword with spaces or tabs separating
the names. Most resolver queries will be attempted

using each component of the search path in turn
until a match is found. Note that this process may
be slow and will generate a lot of network traffic
if the servers for the listed domains are not
local, and that queries will time out if no server
is available for one of the domains.
The search list is currently limited to six domains
with a total of 256 characters.
The domain and search keywords are mutually exclusive. If
more than one instance of these keywords is present, the
last instance will override.
The last paragraph is why it's just odd, not problematic. The current
man page is basically identical.
