Public API to get the search list that is used on the system

[Chris Hegarty]

Hi Norman,

As you correctly found, there is a private implementation that is used
by JNDI. As far as I am aware, there are no plans to provide a Java SE
API for retrieving the default search domain list. Is there a particular
use-case that you have in mind that requires this?
