Description

I'm trying to use LdapQueryBuilder to create a complex query. I'd like to both apply a Filter string as well as do a fluent search.

However, the way the API is currently designed, you can't make complex searches. It appears that just making DefaultContainerCriteria public would allow this behavior; I don't know if there's a deeper reason not to do this.

Research direction

Start at the LdapQueryBuilder entry point and inspect DefaultContainerCriteria, including the existing comments and tests around query construction if present. Determine how fluent search criteria and a filter string should coexist, then confirm the API supports both forms without breaking existing query behavior.
