RE: LDAP searches don't work unless they're wildcards

Sorry, the client software I used is:
* ldapsearch
	- Distributed in Debian package "ldap-utils" v2.0.23-6.3
	- Compiled from source OpenLDAP2 v2.0.23-6.3
* LDAP Browser 2.8.2
	- Graphical Java LDAP client obtained from http://www.iit.edu/~gawojar/ldap/

The server software was stated though:
> The server is:
> 	* Linux kernel 2.4.18
> 	* Debian woody (3.0r1) build
> 	* OpenLDAP: slapd 2.0.23-Release

I followed instructions on rebuilding indices obtained from a website I can't find now:
 * Altered slapd.conf - appended "readonly on"
 * Restarted slapd
 * Executed slapindex
 * Altered slapd.conf - "readonly off"
 * Restarted slapd
