I have the below entries in my /etc/resolv.conf



# more /etc/resolv.conf
domain c.XXXX-XXXX-XXXX.internal
search c.XXXX-XXXX-XXXX.internal. XXXX.internal.
nameserver XX.XX.XX.XX


How can I add new entry to search? Like below



# more /etc/resolv.conf
domain c.XXXX-XXXX-XXXX.internal
search c.XXXX-XXXX-XXXX.internal. XXXX.internal. XXXX.service.
nameserver XX.XX.XX.XX


I tried the below workaround, Installed,



sudo apt-get install resolvconf


and then edited,



sudo gedit /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/base


However, this will will update resolv.conf as below



# more /etc/resolv.conf
search XXXX.service.
domain c.XXXX-XXXX-XXXX.internal
search c.XXXX-XXXX-XXXX.internal. XXXX.internal.
nameserver XX.XX.XX.XX


I wanted search to be update in single line.

    This is substantially different for newer systems. You should probably specify your specific system in the question, is it really 12.04. Upgrade!
