> A substring search with special chars is not working. Examples: (cn=*[*) or (cn=*\2A*) 
> I receive an error like
> ----------------------------------------------------------------
> : Unclosed character class near index 4
> .*[.*
>     ^]
> ----------------------------------------------------------------
> I investigated that we use regular expressions for substring search and the StringTools.getRegex() creates a Pattern object using the search strings. I think we must quote regex meta characters.
