This is intrinsic behavior of search and, unless this I-D
specifically
states otherwise, is the behavior of the operation as extended
by the control.  A statement that this behavior is unaffected
by
the control may be appropriate.

The choices could be clarified as follows:

  a) all entries within scope are duplicated (per the
  control) which match the filter may be returned by the
  server (subject to other factors)

  b) all entries within scope and match the filter are
  duplicated (per the control) and may be returned by the
  server (subject to other factors).

That is, by "filtered" I meant to act of matching the
entries against the filter, not the act of trimming results
due to other factors.

BTW, I'd avoid the a v. b BOOLEAN if at all possible.
