This works for us on stock RedHat 5.2:

 % uname -a
 Linux tigger-e194.cray.com 2.2.0 #1 SMP Tue Jan 26 16:36:48 CST 1999
i686 unknown

 % cat /etc/resolv.conf
 search cray.com sgi.com americas.sgi.com
 nameserver a.b.c.d
 nameserver x.y.z.a
 nameserver l.m.n.o

 % ping dist.engr
 (tigger-e194) ~ # ping dist.engr
 PING dist.engr.sgi.com (192.26.80.118): 56 data bytes

 64 bytes from 192.26.80.118: icmp_seq=1 ttl=249 time=58.8 ms

so, it used the second item in the search list.  Is this what you mean?
