290211 - Advanced Address Book Search kills ability to search LDAP directory

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(Thunderbird :: Address Book, defect)

Description

[bugzilla]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.6) Gecko/20050317 Firefox/0.9
Build Identifier: Thunderbird 1.0.2 (20050317)

If I go to the Advanced Address Book Search window, and search my LDAP
directory, two things happen:

1. Search results are returned very slowly -- it takes 5-10 times longer to
yield the same number of results as the simple search.
2. Further LDAP searches in either the Advanced or simple address book search
windows never return any results.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Run a search against an LDAP directory with the simple address book search
interface, that you know will display several results.
2. Now run the same search against the same directory with the Advanced interface.
3. Hit Clear while results are coming in.
4. Try to run a new search in the advanced and simple interfaces.

Actual Results:  
No results displayed.

Expected Results:  
A normal results listing should have appeared.
