I am confused about setting my resolv.conf.
What is the difference between search [DNS server] and nameserver [DNS server]
Do both of those refer to the DNS server?

Search defines which domains shall be searched for partial computer names. Nameserver defines which servers shall be queried. See:http://linux.die.net/man/5/resolv.conf
