Did you read the resolv.conf manual page? The "search new.net" line
only makes your machine think it is itself part of the new.net domain.
You need to put in the ip address of a resolving nameserver that knows
about the new tld's. You can run your own caching nameserver and put
in a slightly modified root server hints file. But try reading some
general documentation about it first.
