+If you use the ''host'' command and notice that the search suffixes aren't working:
+  - Create the file "C:\Program Files\ISC BIND 9\etc\resolv.conf"
+  - Put the line ''search example.com example.org'' in your new resolv.conf file.
+If you want shorter answers from dig create a .digrc file with ''+noall +answer'' in it. Dig uses the HOME environment variable to find the .digrc file so do, ''set HOME=FOLDER_WITH_DIGRC''.
