Thank you. I did run slapindex under the assumption that it would index all (we have two) the databases. Looks like it wasn't. When I ran slapindex -b <suffix> the index was created and the filter works as expected.
Thanks for the help again. sudhakar

No, if you have told slapd to index the attribute and use this index, but you have not indexed the existing entries, slapd believes what you told it (there is an index, it should not traverse the whole directory), and finds nothing in the index you told it to use. (If it were to subsequently traverse the whole directory, there would be no point in using an index).
You need to populate the index, by running slapdindex (any time you add indexes).
