I would suggest converting these to data more easibly usable as a search 
filter, like:

#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use MIME::Base64 qw(encode_base64 decode_base64);
use Data::Hexdumper qw (hexdump);
my $b64guid="6CncwjzJ/Umi4iIdB88efw==";

my @guid=split / /, hexdump(decode_base64($b64guid), { output_format => 
'%16C' });
my 
$query_string=$guid[3].$guid[2].$guid[1].$guid[0]."-".$guid[5].$guid[4]."-".$guid[7].$guid[6]."-".$guid[8].$guid[9].$guid[10].$guid[11].$guid[12].$guid[13].$guid[14].$guid[15];
chomp($query_string);
print "(objectGUID=".$query_string.")\n";

/tmp/guidsearch.pl

(objectGUID=C2DC29E8-C93C-49FD-A2E2221D07CF1E7F)
