ldap query: ldapsearch for uniqueMember

How can I search for a uniqueMember in an objectClass groupOfUniqueNames within OpenLdap?

dn: cn=group,dc=example,dc=com
objectclass: groupOfUniqueNames
cn: group
uniquemember: uid=member1
uniquemember: uid=member2

I've tried the following with no result:

ldapsearch -x -b dc=example,dc=com "(uniqueMember=uid=member1)"

Pls help me.

The assertion used in this filter is probably not the full DN: "(uniqueMember=uid=member1)". uniqueMember has DN syntax, therefore, the value used in the assertion must be a DN, for example: (uniqueMember=uid=member1,ou=people,dc=example,dc=com).
