Thanks for pointing to ldapsearch utility as this not mentioned in 
documentation. I've searched "persistent" in all PDFs including ds71cli 
without success and I've even read through ldapsearch -H  but didn't 
realize that PS means Persistent Search :)

I've put together few information about persistent searching and put it 
into Howto in wiki.
