We can't help you if we can't guess what's causing your search domain
to be updated. I suppose we could assume you're using a relatively
default installation of dhcpcd... but telling us your distro,
etc. would eliminiate some of this guessing.

If you're using dhcpcd, you can always edit /etc/resolv.conf.head or
/etc/resolv.conf.tail and fill those files in with the `search'
directive you want. If I am reading resolv.conf(5) correctly, the last
`search' line wins so inserting `search my-domain.com' into
/etc/resolv.conf.tail would force `my-domain.com' to be your search
domain.
