What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. theharvester -d target-domain -b all -v -f target-domain.html -n -c
2.
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

-Expected output of the command should include a dns brute forcing of said 
target.
-What is seen is an error that the program is having trouble opening 
dns-search.txt

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
-Version of theharvester is 2.2a on fully updated Kali Linux

-I solved the issue by replacing "f = open(self.file,"r")" in 
dnssearch-threads.py to "f = open(self.file,"dns-search.txt")" and all ran 
great with no errors.

Hopefully this will help others that are having the same issues

OK, previously thought I had fixed the issue by changing "f = 
open(self.file,"r")" in dnssearch-threads.py to "f = 
open(self.file,"dns-search.txt")", but I had forgot that I was in 
/usr/share/theharvester/discovery/ directory.  I had actually changed the code 
back to "f = open(self.file,"r")" and copied dns-names.txt to my home directory 
and ran theharvester from there and there was no errors.  Hopefully this helps 
others.
