Index types needed for search filters
A search with single-level or subtree scope will need indexes. The index types required depend on all the terms in the search filter and are illustrated in the following table (the uid attribute is used as an example):
| Filter Term | Index Required |
|---|---|
| (uid=*) | uid presence |
| (uid=m*) | uid substring |
| (uid=*m) | uid substring |
| (uid=*m*) | uid substring |
| (uid=m*m) | uid substring |
| (uid>=10) | uid ordering |
| (uid<=10) | uid ordering |
| (uid=m) | uid equality |
| (uid~=doe) | uid approximate |
Further information about the different index types, with examples, is provided in Index Types.
