This is the same algorithm dnssec-trigger uses for this purpose. Because
nothing better is there. dnssec-trigger ignores search domain in user
configuration, using it exclusively to "route" domain requests to
correct servers.

Anyway, there exist at least three implementations able to do split DNS
scenario, systemd-resolved, dnsmasq and dnssec-trigger+unbound. For some
reason, there is no common layer of configuring it inside Network
Manager. I think routed domains should be configured there and any split
DNS provider should get it from there. No VPN should put it to specific
implementation, be it systemd or unbound.

This is very tragic way of doing it for privacy. You just shout out
every request you have to all parties without any priority. This is not
how it was done without systemd-resolved. This is much worse. Please
reconsider it. If no split view configuration known, all names should be
handled to VPN. If more of them, use priority of NM connection or manual
configuration. Allow local override.

As was said, search is done used for something else by default.

Please don't force me share my porn sites with both employer AND ISP.
Just one of them is enough. Wait for timeout from the first one before
trying next one.

Use any information provided by network administrators, but allow local
overrides. But stay secure at the same time. Put complexity to network
configuration, resolved should fetch it from there.
