LDAP search filter affects separate Exchange global address list

[David Clayton]

Binary package hint: evolution

After setting up an Exchange account and finally getting the Global Address List to work, changing the search filter on a separate LDAP Contacts list to the same server affects the Exchange Contacts listings but NOT the LDAP Contacts listings! I will spell this out - the filter does nothing on the account you set the filter on - but it affects another Contacts account that should have nothing to do with this particular LDAP account.

This is firstly the opposite of the anticipated behaviour, and the are also no areas in the Exchange account properties to set up any LDAP filters to refine the returned results or any mention to use a separate LDAP account to get this functionality.
