nslookup/dig not appending domain suffix for SRV searches

I am trying to figure out why doing a SRV record search on Ubuntu will not work without specifically including the FQDN on the end of the address. I have the domain name listed in my resolv.conf within the search parameter. The search works on Windows using nslookup without appending the FQDN though. I've been unable to find anything on the various forums. The query just returns NXDOMAIN unless I put the FQDN.
