Sorry for the slow answer, I've been busy reinstalling my dev platform :) I don't get any error message while using FDS's version of ldapsearch with "-x" option to enable server side sorting, and can't enable debugging as I'd have to recompile the ldapsearch utility with LDAP_DEBUG defined. As I don't have access to all necessary librairies for now, it's not an option. There's no error message in any of the three logs (access, error and audit). I can confirm though that when I do a one-letter substring search, the search seems as slow as an unindexed search, so I guess you're right about oneletter searches being non-indexed. Do you think there is anything I can do to enable oneletter indexes ? Thanks in advance, Thierry Lanfranchi (PS: Sorry if my english's not that good, trying to do my best as it's not my mother tongue) David Boreham a ?crit : > Thierry Lanfranchi wrote: > >> Is that "not sorting on single letter search" feature wanted (maybe >> even RFC stuff that I haven't read yet), and if so, can I enable >> sorting even in that case, or is it to be considered a strange >> behavior and I need to look for more informations in order to solve it ? > > > Yes.
