if you really read the error message, it is pretty obvious what's going
wrong: you did not provide any equality matching rule in your attribute
definition, such as  
"EQUALITY caseIgnoreIA5Match"

any search operation will fail, if your attribute lacks EQUALITY (and
depending in the underlying data type SUBSTR) definitions.

besides this your definition is correct.
