Linux DNS: expand name with a choosen domain

Question

I need to expand a random name with a choosen domain. Example: nslookup abc 127.0.0.1 -> should look for abc.domainchoosen.dom.

Suggestions?

What exactly is it you are trying to do? The thing you want it to point at is an email address. Are you looking for the default DNS suffix? This makes no sense at all as written. — Falcon Momot, Sep 15 '13 at 17:43

Add the desired domain to the search line in /etc/resolv.conf. For example:

search example.com

I did it but wget yy.domain.com downloads domain.com and *not* yy.domain.com, where am I wrong? Suggestions? – Sep 15 '13 at 18:48
@Conl That's a completely separate question. – Michael Hampton Sep 15 '13 at 18:49
