5.6: What is/are "Domain names to search"?

(thanks Jarno :)  
The "Domain names to search" are the domain names which are appended to a
given host name on the search. If you have a name "foo" and the domain
names to search are "bar.edu" and "zip.zop" then "foo.bar.edu" is tried
first, and if that fails, "foo.zip.zop" is tried next. If the name to
search includes the domain part, it is searched as it is.
