i dont really get what you're trying to say is wrong but the output you've shown is the expected behavior

[Comment 2 Pavel B. Milovantsev 2005-12-26 00:01:55 UTC]

Seems to me that comments about OVERRIDE should show that reslove.conf:search option will not work after reboot if this parameter is equal 1.

From other hand I didn't see anywhere that order of _LINES_ (not search option paramenters) in resolve.conf should affect resolver functionality.

Sorry, if I'm wrong. Feel free to close the bug, since I made OVERRIDE=0 and generated after reboot resolve.conf file have suitable for resolver LINES ORDER:

gis ~ # cat /etc/resolv.conf
domain intis.tomsk.ru
nameserver 192.168.44.1
search intis.tomsk.ru imces.ru

you didnt read the resolv.conf(5) manpage then like the domainname file told you to ... there's clearly a section which states:
       The domain and search keywords are mutually exclusive.   If  more  than
       one instance of these keywords is present, the last instance wins.
