Disable Windows DNS search domain / set to `.`

I use a resolver that responds with records on bare TLDs aka dotless domains - will add some info on why below if you're curious, but it's not related to the issue.

On Linux, it's possible to do so by removing domain_search from dhcpcd conf or similar option in other resolvers.

How can this be done on Windows? I've tried adding a . to search domains in Adapter -> IPv4 Advanced settings:

but it doesn't seem to work:

PS> Resolve-DnsName -Name theshakeResolve-DnsName : theshake : The data is invalidAt line:1 char:1+ Resolve-DnsName -Name theshake+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~+ CategoryInfo          : ResourceUnavailable: (theshake:String) [Resolve-DnsName], Win32Exception+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : ERROR_INVALID_DATA,Microsoft.DnsClient.Commands.ResolveDnsName

But with the -DnsOnly flag, it works fine:

PS> Resolve-DnsName -Name theshake -DnsOnlyName                                           Type   TTL   Section    IPAddress----                                           ----   ---   -------    ---------theshake                                       A      20    Answer     135.148.148.182

If it's not possible to add a ., then can searching domains be disabled completely? So that even single label domains are treated at FQDNs (theshake -> theshake.)?

If anyone wants to reproduce / test, can use this resolver:

139.144.68.241139.144.68.242

which is from HNSDNS that resolves Handshake domains
