I do the same thing and have never had a problem. Maybe I’ve just been lucky for 25+ years. Some hosts have a search path of “int.example.com, example.com”. Others are just “example.com”
If you generally had "search example.com" in you resolv.conf, and were in the habit of having "web01.dev" in places, behaviour may have changed if you were happen to be on a machine that had the "search" line missing (or something else).

Could you give an example? I'm curious, too.
