NM doesn't support custom search domains in every distro backend yet.
Specific VPN plugins will return and append the search domain returned
by the VPN concentrator, but there aren't "global" search domains that
persist over all connections, both VPN and regular.  For example, the
SUSE backend will honor options from a resolv.conf template file, but
I've been too lazy to add that stuff to the Fedora backend.
