You're right in saying that in interfaces manpage you cannot find any
reference to that directive, but you can find it in
/usr/share/doc/resolvconf/README.gz:
[...]
3.4 ifupdown
* Remove any "up" or "down" commands from /etc/network/interfaces
that futz with /etc/resolv.conf and remove any scripts from
/etc/network/if-*.d/ that futz with /etc/resolv.conf.
* For each inet static logical interface through which a nameserver is
accessible, add lines like the following to /etc/network/interfaces .
dns-nameservers 11.22.33.44 55.66.77.88
dns-search foo.org bar.com
