Configure search domains on the Asus router with the Asuswrt Merlin firmware
Raw
asuswrt_merlin_search_domain.md

Create /jffs/configs/dnsmasq.conf.add and add DHCP option 119 providing the domain search list (home in the example below):

dhcp-option=lan,119,home

Allow custom configs in the nvram:

nvram set jffs2_scripts=1

Restart dnsmasq:

service restart_dnsmasq

Check that dnsmasq config contains new option:

grep 'dhcp-option=lan,119,home' /etc/dnsmasq.conf || echo "Error! Option has not been added!"

The above has been tested on the Asus RT-AC66U with ASUSWRT-Merlin RT-AC66U_3.0.0.4
