Peter, thank you very much for you response!
You described everything perfectly!
I have already implemented client side filtering as you described, so I will
stay with that solution.

Hi Alina,

I suppose the use case is that users (of your customer) want to have
such a thing. In Germany there are e.g. Names that sound similar and are
only different in one character, e.g.:

"Mayer" vs "Meyer" where you want to search "M?yer".

This of course can be done via *  ("M*yer") only that  you would  also
get "Mohandas Iyer" .
The LDAP protocol has no such thing as ?, so you would have to implement
it in the client interface, i.e search "M*yer" and then filter the
results within your own  application logic (e.g. in a webgateway) for
"M?er" before displaying the reduced result set to the user.

Cheers,

Peter
