There isn't one, but that doesn't mean you get to ensconce the behavior
you like.  That was my point.

I can and do.

You're not arguing for simple inclusion of search; you're arguing for
specific behavior that is impossible to implement in a sane manner,
because that's how glibc does it.  I am not against domain and search, 
but I don't just want functionality poorly added just to check some box 
on a random other project's wishlist.

Not sure how this is relevant?  Nobody's forcing anyone to do anything.
What is your point?
