Search Filters for User Data Patterns
This example shows typical search filter syntax for any search string containing the @
symbol. In this example, the gateway will respond to search strings containing the @
symbol (the pattern) by searching the
the supplied value (the filter). The gateway will then return a message on the search results
form indicating the number of entries where the
address starts with"
"@"
" ""(mail=%v))"
"(mail=%v*))"
NOTE
Standard searches use only the filters associated with the first matching
pattern. Advanced searches use all filters defined for the entry.

is" dateOfBirth=%v*))"date of birth starts with"

NOTE
Make sure to place new patterns near the top of the pattern definitions for a
given object. For example, in the
patterns before the pattern that begins with the @ symbol. Patterns near
the end of the entry are more general and will match many different
strings.
