from reading the resolvconf manpage (
http://www.clab.it/cgi-bin/man/man2html?resolvconf+8) I infer that it causes
the resolv.conf file to no longer be used, meaning the data in that file is
now irrelevant. Resolvconf appears to store its data somewhere else, but I
didn't read long enough to find out where.

The "search" entry would have come from your DSL modem and is there because
whatever ISP originally configured it wanted it there.
