XADM: Help Topic for LDAP Search Options is Incorrect

• Microsoft Exchange Server, version 5.5

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.
