While that may be the case, I would like to see clearly in the indexing section a description, even brief, of the behaviour when an index with equality is set. Link to the rfc for detailed description even. Perhaps also a warning in the errors file when such an index is created / at start up? >> >>> However, 389 provides a default equality matching rule, which is >>> essentially a memcmp(3).
