Ok I understand the need, and indeed you'd use the catalog for your
searches then.

But I can't do this in the general case, I don't want 100000 LDAP
members to blow up the size of my ZODB and of my portal catalog, and
LDAP is perfectly able to do efficient searches so I don't want to
duplicate this information.
