" The SRV record allows DNS resolvers to search for particular applications and underlying transports (for example, HTTP running over TLS, see [RFC2818]) and to learn the domain name and port where that service resides in a given administrative domain.

Also, strictly speaking, the function that is performed is lookup or mapping, not "search". The difference is large.
Additionally, it's useful to distinguish The DNS (i.e., with the existing well-know roots) from A DNS -- the latter using the same protocols and records, but not sharing the same initial roots.
