Description of problem:
OCP v4.9.31 cluster didn't have the $search domain in /etc/resolv.conf, which was there in the v4.8.29 OCP cluster. This was observed in all the nodes of the v4.9.31 cluster.

ENV: OpenStack IAD2, IPI installation. Connected cluster.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
OCP v4.9.31

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install IPI cluster on OpenStack IAD2 platform having cluster version 4.9.31
2. Debug to any of the node(master/worker)
3. Check and confirm the missing search domain on all nodes of the cluster.

Actual results:
The search domain was missing when checked in `/etc/resolv.conf` file on all nodes of the cluster causing serious issues in the cluster.

Expected results:
The installer should embed the search domain in /etc/resolv.conf file on all nodes of the cluster.

Additional info:

• Cu was trying to deploy secure Kerberos on the CoreOS nodes and it failed when the IPA-client install command failed. This is when the customer noticed this unusual behavior. They did not manually update the resolv.conf file to include the $search domain. They instead added the script below to /etc/NetworkManager/dispatcher.d/ and restarted NetworkManager on the node to fix this issue and installation was successful.

• Cu confirms that the $search domain was missing since the cluster was freshly installed/ They even confirmed this with a fresh new cluster as well that it was missing.

• The fresh cluster was initially installed at v4.9.31 but was updated afterward to v4.9.43 (the latest z-stream) to see if the updates fixed anything but it didn't make any difference. The cluster is currently running v4.9.43 and shows the $search domain missing in the /etc/resolv.conf file on all nodes.
