If I have the objectGUID attribute as returned by the ldapsearch command, how can I search the whole directory for an object with that objectGUID?

For example, if I search a user getting its objectGUID, I get the following:

ldapsearch -x -D $MyDn -W -h $Host -b "dc=x,dc=y" "(mail=something)" objectGUID

# 7f435ae312a0d8197605, p, Externals, x.y
dn: CN=7f435ae312a0d8197605,OU=p,DC=x,DC=y
objectGUID:: b+bSezFkKkWDmbIZiyE5rg==

Starting from the value b+bSezFkKkWDmbIZiyE5rg==, how can I create a query string to get that object?
