How do I do an LDAP search at all?

I have known that I can type in an address and then the full name will
get filled in from the LDAP server, but how can I search for a partial username
or even partial real name and get results from the LDAP server?  This'd
be great to have in pine..  (Something similar to the popup that you get
in the Mac OS X Mail.app when you type in a name, but other things about that
program bug me.)

Once you have a directory setup hit ^T when you are in an address area
when composing a new message. This should bring up your address book, and
down the bottom of the address books should be your directory services,
select one of them.  Enter what you want to search for It replaces spaces
with * internally and also places a * at the start and end of what you
type. To try and clarify, if you were to search for "art ame" it would
actually search for "*art*ame*" which would ofcourse match my name ;)

If you made it that far then hit ^T again and you'll be whisked away to
the complex search.

Hope this helps,

Stewart
