no, not every request. only those that don’t exceed `ndots` number of dots, typically 1 for unix like OSes. so google.com will not have fritz.box appended

  This is not true for Windows unfortunately. Even a lookup for google.com will have fritz.box appended. I added a screenshot to the article for clarity.

    I don't get that on Windows 11, with a FRITZ!Box that's mostly using the default settings. Server: fritz.box Address: fd00::[etc] Non-authoritative answer: Name: google.com Addresses: 2a00:1450:4001:80b::200e 172.217.19.78

      Can confirm, fritz.box only gets suffixed for names on the local network, which my Fritzbox 7490 is the authoritative name server for.

      That's interesting.

  Just checked, systemd-resolved doesn't even support that behavior anymore[1], so any multi-label FQDN will get resolved without appending the search domain. So that's still a mess, but no mess of "rip apart the entire home network right now". 1: https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/latest/systemd-resolved.service.html#Compatibility%20with%20the%20traditional%20glibc%20stub%20resolver https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/latest/syst...
