logically, the first part of the filter should return true, since i have some entries that mail and/or givenName is start with 'a'. if the first condition is failed, when i reverse it (as in second case), it should fail too. > Also for third case, are you missing the two right parenthses )'s > at the > end? > > > > third: > > (|( &(objectClass=inetOrgPerson)(mail=a*) > (&(objectClass=inetOrgPerson)(givenName=a*)) > )) <== the missing two )'s. > sorry for the typo error. is actually (|(&(objectClass=inetOrgPerson)(mail=a*))(&(objectClass=inetOrgPerson)(givenName=a*))) i just rewrite the third case, as below (|(&(mail=a*)(objectClass=inetOrgPerson))(&(givenName=a*)(objectClass=inetOrgPerson))) it's working! just wonder why the first case is not working (&(|(mail=a*)(givenName=a*))(objectClass=inetOrgPerson)) With Andreas Hasenack's suggestion, i also tried to reindex using slapindex, the first case still not working. > >i have three identical filter > > > > first: > > (&(|(mail=a*)(givenName=a*))(objectClass=inetOrgPerson)) > > > > second: > > (&(objectClass=inetOrgPerson)(|(mail=a*)(givenName=a*))) > > > > third: > > > (|(&(objectClass=inetOrgPerson)(mail=a*)(&(objectClass=inetOrgPerson)(givenName=a*)) > > > > however, the first filter i didn't get any result, but the second > and > > third filter i get what i want. > > > > anyone know what is the problem with the first filter? the > entries i want > > to search for contains all the three attribute (mail, givenName, > > objectClass) > > _______________________________________ YM - 離線訊息 就算你沒有上網，你的朋友仍可以留下訊息給你，當你上網時就能立即看到，任何說話都冇走失。 http://messenger.yahoo.com.hk
