  Mark, would be accepted to accommodate only  substring indexes
  followed by wild char than ?
  aka :cn=abc*,
  cn=efg*  .... may need couple of this indexes.

  Thank you

/I'm on a roll today :-( sorry so this is not going to solve the issue.
There is no way to index or improve this type of search filter's
performance (cn=*mt*).  If this is a reoccurring search filter, and your
client can be adjusted to use vlv indexes, then that might be option.
See the admin guide for more info on VLV searches/indexes.

Regards,
Mark
