XADM: Help Topic for LDAP Search Options is Incorrect (176743)


The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Exchange Server 5.5
This article was previously published under Q176743

SUMMARY

In Microsoft Exchange Server version 5.5, the Search LDAP (Directory) Site Default Help topic contains incorrect information about the differences between Initial and Final substring searches.

MORE INFORMATION

The correct information for these two types of searches is described below:

  • Initial substring search

    The directory matches the substring that the user specifies against the beginning of an attribute in the directory. For example, an Initial substring search for |St| in a display name would return Stacey and Steve, but not Sean or Shannon. Initial substring searches are typically faster than the other types of substring searches.
  • Final substring search

    The directory matches the substring that the user specifies against the end of an attribute in the directory. For example, a Final substring search for |ne| in a display name would return Suzan Fine. Final substring searches are typically slower than Initial substring searches.
