I suppose that's possible, but I don't remember ever running 
nm-connection-editor. I thought that I gained access to the setting in 
question through one of the right-click menus accessible by 
right-clicking the icons in the bar at the top of the screen. Was 
nm-connection-editor available from there prior to Fedora 20?

I think it's a bug that the only way to access this setting is through 
nm-connection-editor. How would anyone know to run nm-connection-editor 
to access settings? I don't even think this is a particularly advanced 
setting.

(And then there's the fact that there appears to be no way to define a 
default domain search list to apply to all connected network devices, or 
if there is, there's no way to set that through a GUI, or if there is, 
it's so well hidden that I couldn't find it, but this is a separate issue.)
