Why doesn't systemd-resolved use my local DNS server?

I'm using a local BIND9 server to host some local dns records. When trying to dig for a local domain name I can't find it if I don't explicitly tell dig to use my local BIND9 server.

user@heimdal:~$ dig +short heimdal.lan.se
user@heimdal:~$ dig +short @192.168.1.7 heimdal.lan.se
192.168.1.2

Ubuntu 17.04 and systemd-resolved are used. This is the content of my /etc/resolved

# Dynamic resolv.conf(5) file for glibc resolver(3) generated by resolvconf(8)
#     DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE BY HAND -- YOUR CHANGES WILL BE OVERWRITTEN
# 127.0.0.53 is the systemd-resolved stub resolver.
# run "systemd-resolve --status" to see details about the actual nameservers.

nameserver 127.0.0.53

And the output from systemd-resolve --status

The DNS Servers section does seem to have rightfully configured 192.168.1.7 as the main DNS server (my local BIND9 instance). I can't understand why it's not used ... ?
