The "search" function of DNS is implemented in the client not the server, so
I can't think of any reason why the behavior would have changed due to a server
upgrade. The glib answer is that, since nslookup works fine, it's not a BIND
problem but rather a Wintel problem, and you should ask a Wintel group about it.
Sorry, I have no other ideas...
