"and", not "or".  The server sends each matching entry (if any) in a
separate LDAP_RES_SEARCH_ENTRY message over the LDAP protocol.  And/or
LDAP_RES_SEARCH_REFERENCE messages for references to other servers.

Finally, an LDAP_RES_SEARCH_RESULT message is sent with the result 
code, a possible error message, etc.  These fields are not present
in LDAP_RES_SEARCH_ENTRY messages.
