Description Alessandro Capogna 2015-02-06 01:02:29 UTC
This is my environment:

I have a VPN connection with multiple domain inside of it. with the "search domains" feature I can access to the machines in the domains listen on "search domains" without specify the full path, and even telling networkmanager to watch in the vpn for those domains.

Thanks to guys (borschty) on #gnome, I find out there is a workaround for this, using the previous NM interface with:
$ nm-connection-editor
but I think it is very cool to have this functionality back to the new interface.

installed packages
  networkmanager-0.9.10.1_pre20141101
  networkmanager-openvpn-0.9.10.0

I had the same issue. Our DHCP server was not sending back the full search domains properly, and in order to manually override (and have the resulting resolve.conf properly edited) I had to use the text UI (nmtui) to add back search domains.

I recall this option was available in the graphical 'network settings" UI in the past.

~$ sudo /usr/bin/NetworkManager -V
1.0.0

~$ gnome-control-center --version
gnome-control-center 3.14.2

Hi, 

Same problem here.

Please note that this affects the package: NetworkManager-openvpn (a plugin for network manager).

I have the same issue, the «Additional Search Domains» field that I expect to be in the ipv4 tab is not there (but it was in the past and it is in the Unity vpn network configuration).
Comment 3 Josh Triplett 2017-06-07 18:19:02 UTC
Same problem; I'd like to edit the search domains, and the GNOME network configuration interface no longer seems to support that via the GUI.
Comment 4 André Klapper 2021-06-09 16:28:39 UTC
GNOME is going to shut down bugzilla.gnome.org in favor of gitlab.gnome.org.
As part of that, we are mass-closing older open tickets in bugzilla.gnome.org
which have not seen updates for a longer time (resources are unfortunately
quite limited so not every ticket can get handled).

If you can still reproduce the situation described in this ticket in a recent
and supported software version, then please follow
  https://wiki.gnome.org/GettingInTouch/BugReportingGuidelines
and create a new bug report at
  https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-control-center/-/issues/

Thank you for your understanding and your help.
