Dear Vaibhav,
As far I know, For example if U add this in /etc/resolv.conf
search redhat.com
it would mean that when U want to place a query like
ping mail.redhat.com
due to the addition of the search keyword in resov.conf
U could just type
ping mail
it would automatically ping
mail.redhat.com
Due to the ' search ' keyword it appends queried hostname to the domain mentioned next to search to every query U make
Correct me If I am wrong ...
Always waiting to upgrade myself ..
Hope I am of some Help
Regards,
Shailesh

This sure is a too fundamental a question, and I could not get an understandable answer, hence I am seeking help here.
What is the meaning of "search foo.com" & "domain foo.com" in resolv.conf
resolv.conf contains a list of NS <as provided by ISPs> which will do domain to IP lookup... so then what will searched on foo.com ??
Diff. betwee search foo.com & domains foo.com
Trying to set my fundas correct... No flames pls.
Thank you. Vai
