As it happens, I have "nodots" set to one. I was using the above as an
example.
If I had nodots:2, then yes, it would try the search path first for
things like /. - but as all of my search stuff is on nets pretty close
to me (in fact, my local machine is a nameserver for most of them), it
wouldn't be too much of an overhead.
