A equality index allows to check wether the searched attribute value is equal
to the entry value, a presence index allows to search wether the attribute is
present in the database and a substring (sub) index allows to search with
substrings, that is wildcards. The substring my have three different search
strings, sub_initial, substring_any  and sub_final. Any substring search must
provide at least 3 characters. To give an example:
searching for 'cn=klu*' should result in 'cn=kluenter' and any other string
which value starts with 'klu',
searching for 'cn=klu*ter' should result in 'cn=kluenter' and any other string
that starts with 'klu' and end with 'ter'.
searching for 'cn=*nte*' should result in 'cn=kluenter' and any other string
that contains 'nte'.
