Find someone by surname(last name) containing 'oo'

(sn=*oo*)

Find someone who's username contains 'mo'

(name=*mo*)

Find someone who's first name contains 'rr'

(givenName=*rr*)


Can use AND OR etc for joining but probably not necessary if just trying to find someone.

(&(sn=*oo*)(givenName=*fm*))

OR

(|(sn=*oo*)(givenName=*fm*))
