Description

I executed a search on a context and the search did not return.

2006-11-23 15:20:18,243 DEBUG [MYLDAPClientClass]function - searching : filter [(&(cn=somerandomstring)(objectClass=RakInstanceDescriptor)]

I noticed from my debug that my search filter was not terminated correctly. It would make development easier, especially for those not knowing immediately that they had provided a duff filter, if the search method threw an exception to say that the filter was invalid.
