Outlook Express (OE) and Search for People use the same WAB provider IIRC.
When you open ldap://servername you're really making a call to use WAB.EXE
which is the same address book that OE uses to search for users. I notice
though, that if you specify a server to contact, that you get that
pre-filled in vs. if you open it in search or via OE. Interesting....
IE uses the following key to control what it uses for the ldap url:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Clients\Contacts\Address
Book\Protocols\ldap\shell\open\command
So my thinking was that you needed to properly specify the directory on the
client. It may just be permissions related however, as utilizing the ldap
url to open a DC for search provides null credentials by default. Check
your security logs (if auditing) to see if this is the case.
Note: I notice as I looked at this in my test environment that I had no
notification in the event logs. I didn't look at it long enough to see if I
had the audit settings perfected, so it's possible I missed something.
However, a network trace shows the attempt and an error indicating that I
need to first bind. That's not really correct, because I do bind, but I
bind anonymously. It should be telling me to allow anonymous bind in order
to search etc.
If it helps, ldap url syntax is defined in RFC 2255.

What happens if you specify ldap://domainname ? Just out of curiousity.
Using IE or some other browser?
IE relies on OE IIRC to handle LDAP searches. How are your directory
settings in OE configured exactly?
