-Querying more complicated requests is a bit tedious, as it *currently* requires you to build the Search request yourself.
+We can also use the :func:`~scapy.layers.ldap.LDAP_Client.search` passing a base DN, a filter (as specified by RFC2254) and a scope.\\

+The scope can be one of the following:

+- 0=baseObject: only the base DN's attributes are queried
+- 1=singleLevel: the base DN's children are queried
+- 2=wholeSubtree: the entire subtree under the base DN is included

 For instance, this corresponds to querying the DN ``CN=Users,DC=domain,DC=local`` with the filter ``(objectCategory=person)`` and asking for the attributes ``objectClass,name,description,canonicalName``:
