Let me extrapolate.
*if* what you want to do is to find an entry in the DIT when the entry's
DN contains some specific attributeType and value, like :
entry1 : cn=john doe,ou=people,dc=acme,dc=com
entry2 : cn=john doe,ou=robot,dc=acme,dc=com
with the following filter :
(&(ou:dn:=people)(cn=john doe))
then you won't find any entry using this request, while you would have
expected to get entry1 only (because entry2's dn does not contain ou=people)
Now, *if* what you want to do is to find an entry which has one
Attribute's value contaning a specific D, that's another story.
Suppose that you have such an entry :
dn: cn=test,ou=Groups,dc=acme,dc=com
objectClass: groupOfUniqueNames
objectClass: top
cn: test
uniqueMember: uid=jdoe1,ou=People,dc=acme,dc=com
uniqueMember: uid=jdoe2,ou=People,dc=acme,dc=com
uniqueMember: uid=jane,ou=People,dc=acme,dc=com
uniqueMember: uid=john,ou=People,dc=acme,dc=com
then a filter like (uniqueMember=uid=ja*) will give you back the entry,
while (uniqueMember=uid=k*) will not find it.
Not sure what kind of search you really want to do though... If you
could be a bit more explicit, that could help...
