There isn't one, but that doesn't mean you get to ensconce the behavior

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.
