    You just remain open for injection vulnerabilities if you allow full context searches. Try something like this code snippet(still a very restrictive set):

    ' removes all characters not in A-Z, a-z, 0-9 or underscore, at-sign and dot '
    Dim cleanSarchVal As String = Regex.Replace(searchVal, "[^a-zA-Z0-9_@.,=]", "")

    searcher.Filter = "(&(objectClass=user)(samaccountname=" + cleanSearchVal + "))"
