RE: Feature request: attribute searches return matching attribute (ITS#2431)

[hyc@highlandsun.com]

This feature has been implemented in OpenLDAP 2.1 since release 2.1.3. See
the ldapsearch usage message, "matched values filter". The man page appears
to be missing documentation on this feature at the moment.
