man host

       -N ndots
           The number of dots that have to be in name for it to be considered absolute. The default value is that defined using
           the ndots statement in /etc/resolv.conf, or 1 if no ndots statement is present. Names with fewer dots are interpreted
           as relative names and will be searched for in the domains listed in the search or domain directive in
           /etc/resolv.conf.
