No, "domain" behaves like "search" here. (Except for ignoring
the second argument).
I already tested the manpage with some people, not finding
options ndots:20
as solution in it seems not to be a single failure of mine.
(BTW: Is there some way to specify infinity there, using a
two-digit number should normaly be enough, though not
very elegant).
