I have the same problem. I can't specify the domains to search.
I have a partial workaround in that I can get my Linux clients to use a search list but not my MSW clients.


option domain-name "mydomain.home mydomain.com";

Linux clients set search path to "mydomain.home mydomain.com" however MSW clients seem to be confused and do not append any domian name to a hostname, or more likely the MSW client appends the entire string.

eg. "ping host" probably causes "ping mydomain.home mydomain.com" (at a guess).

The work around for me was to use separate groups for the Linux and MSW boxes.

### Linux Group ###
group {
   option domain-name "mydomain.home mydomain.com";
   host linux1 {
      ...
   }
}

### MSW Group ###
group {
   option domain-name "mydomain.home";
   host msw1 {
      ...
   }
}

You could put the default in the global namespace and just put the exception for MSW boxes in the MSW group. That is what I did.

At least the linux boxes have a search list, but the MSW boxes do not.
