First off, you have years to figure it out. While it is "deprecated"
in RHEL-7.5, that just means that the next major (not minor) release
will not have it.
Second there is an ldapsearch in 389. It is 'buried' at the moment
because it would conflict with the shipped one and I don't know if it
will move:
