Re: Indexed searches which contain a NOT filter returnincomplete results (ITS#1405)

Great!  Thanks!

As our code uses a number of "!" in their filters, I've
a couple of questions just to clarify which ones we need
to rethink.

In the following example, I assume that with the fix the
index for objectclass=y will not be used.  True?

(&(objectclass=x)(!(objectclass=y)))

In the next example, will the index be used?

(!(&(objectclass=x)(objectclass=y)))

Thanks!
