How to get the systemd resolver to resolve local (i.e. unqalified) names?

Aye, the DNS resolution is supposed to need the search directive,

but I guess the resolve resolutin is supposed not to depend on that.

His dns resolution started using the correct search domain as soon as 
"search" was added,

but getent already worked prior to that using resolve.

So systemd-resolved depends on search for its ip 127.0.0.53 as that IS 
what is used by dns.

dns just interfaces to 127.0.0.53 which gets handled by 
systemd-resolved.

and this dns module requires the "search". Fair enough.

But "resolve" came first in the chain.

Since "getent" did work using resolve it is peculiar that "host" did not 
work using resolve.

"getent" did not use dns prior.

So getent resolution already used resolve, not dns.

And yet "host" resolution failed to work. Very strange.
