UME user search with multiple search fields (AND / OR search)

Question

Hi,
I'm struggling with a UME user search problem. I have multiple search fields: lastname, firstname, department
Searching in this fields is working with the default IPrincipalSearchFilter.SEARCHMETHOD_AND (default)
<a href="http://help.sap.com/javadocs/NW04/current/um/com/sap/security/api/IPrincipalSearchFilter.html#setSearchMethod(int)">JavaDocs SearchMethod_AND</a>
Now I would like to add an additional search field for searching in telephone, cellphone as well. BUT searching for a phone number with searching for one of the other fields should not be a AND search. Is this possible?
Here is the actual non-working code:
     Vector retVector = new Vector();
     //get Userdata with IUserFactory
     IResourceFactory resourceFactory = ResourceFactory.getInstance();
     IURLGeneratorService urlGen = (IURLGeneratorService)resourceFactory.getServiceFactory().getService(IServiceTypesConst.URLGENERATOR_SERVICE);
     IUserFactory userFac = UMFactory.getUserFactory();                    
     IUserSearchFilter srcFilter = null;          
     try
          srcFilter = userFac.getUserSearchFilter();
     } catch (UMException e)
          // TODO Auto-generated catch block
          e.printStackTrace();
     if(lastName.length() > 0)
          srcFilter.setLastName(lastName + "*",ISearchAttribute.LIKE_OPERATOR, false);
     if(firstName.length() > 0)
          srcFilter.setFirstName(firstName + "*",ISearchAttribute.LIKE_OPERATOR, false);
     if(department.length() > 0)
          srcFilter.setDepartment(department + "*", ISearchAttribute.LIKE_OPERATOR, false);
//Here I need help!!!!!!! Please advice!!!
     if(telephone.length() > 0)
          srcFilter.setTelephone("*" + telephone, ISearchAttribute.LIKE_OPERATOR, false);
          srcFilter.setCellPhone("*" + telephone, ISearchAttribute.LIKE_OPERATOR, false);
     //if(mobil.length() > 0)
     //     srcFilter.setCellPhone("*" + mobil, ISearchAttribute.LIKE_OPERATOR, false);
     //Set maxium value for Result and thus limit the static variable SIZE_LIMIT_EXCEEDED
     //This method can only be used, if only one search attribute is specified -> thanks SAP
     if(srcFilter.getElementSize() <= 1)
          srcFilter.setMaxSearchResultSize(300);
     ISearchResult srcResult = null;
     try
          srcResult = userFac.searchUsers(srcFilter);
     } catch (UMException e1)
          // TODO Auto-generated catch block
          e1.printStackTrace();
Thanks for any help...

Hello,
I could still need some help. Is there no one who could give me a tip? Could I explain my problem clearly enough or do you need some more information about my problem?
Or is the search topic with searchFilter not a very common used thing?
Is there a possibility to do a search in the received search result? Can anyone explain how this would work?
Any ideas are welcome.
Regards,
Stefan
