Did the LuCI field ‘DNS search domains’ under Network>>Interfaces >> lan (or other static address interfaces) disappear for everyone else in 25.12.x?

The same functionality is fulfilled by the "domain" property. Two fields which h…ave the same semantics and purpose. None of odhcpd, dnsmasq or odhcp6c use the dns_search property. See also: https://github.com/openwrt/odhcpd/issues/206 The local device might anyway use the "search" entries from /etc/resolv.conf at the lower layers, but IPv6 RA and DHCPv6 is controlled by the "domain" property, which is distributed to clients.
