        Hi,
try to turn off "Copy book content locally for offline operation" (and
only then stop evolution and restart the address book factory process).

I see it has some influence on the behavior. In this case, if the book
is not offline (which it should not), it prefers to use the local cache
(because it's marked for offline use), even when it's empty/incomplete.
When you've that option off, the log will continue with a new print:

    searching server using filter: XXX (expecting max NNN results)

and eventually some more after it. You can also try to delete

   ~/.cache/evolution/addressbook/<ldap-book-id>/

to force start from scratch with the local cache. You can delete the 

   ~/.cache/evolution/addressbook/

to force start from scratch for all remote address books you've
configured (like those for evolution-ews). Such deletion requires
restart of the addressbook factory process (because touching private
application files).
        Bye,
