Bind has some very thorough documentation. It's even easily searchable if you view it online. That's better than any general search engine.
Bind has 47,589,322 pages of documentation you can't search unless you already know all the proper jargon. The actual docs are the last place I ever want to look for anything :-).

Use dnsmasq or something else for most home-based DNS services (and even for plenty of production-grade DNS services).
