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.
Find someone who with matching surname AND firstname
(&(sn=*oo*)(givenName=*fm*))
OR
(|(sn=*oo*)(givenName=*fm*))
