I’ve used search domains in corporate networks, yes it’s still a thing and fully supported. I’d always tell somebody to type [name][forward-slash] in their browser, like ‘jira/‘ to get to our internal Jira server, which would always convince the browser to actually do a DNS lookup and not a search. Worked well. I liked alway having a rule in the web server to redirect to the fully qualified hostname on requests to the internal ones, so links could be shared and would always work even if the search domain wasn’t set up (could happen on the VPN for example).
