Searching the Directory
Both types of searches permit searching for any of the entry types described in
Table 7.9.
After the directory server completes the search, the directory server interface
displays the search results, which provide links to all matching entries. Clicking
an entry displayed on the search results list displays detailed information about
the entry. If the entry is a person, you can also choose to view the person’s
digital business card (vCard).
Performing a Standard Search
Depending on what is entered, Standard Search determines whether to find
entries that exactly match the criteria, entries that contain the criteria, or entries
that contain words or syllables that sound like the criteria. An LDAP search filter
can also be used in the standard search field.
