Also complete (but empty) if the result code is noSuchObject or referral and, with extensions, certain other codes used by extensions (such as assertionFailed [RFC4528]). Noting that I'm looking at this from a single client-server operation perspective, treating search references themselves as part of the result set (as opposed to treating all the results from a set of related LDAP operations as forming the complete set). -- Kurt
