It works for me, I do it all the time. You may need to set the search
scope to "base" or you won't find anything.
$ ldapsearch -x -b '' -s base vendorVersion
# extended LDIF
#
# LDAPv3
# base <> with scope base
# filter: (objectclass=*)
# requesting: vendorVersion

dn:
vendorVersion: Fedora-Directory/1.0.1 B2005.342.165
This is using, just as an example, the ldapsearch command line tool
from the openldap-clients RPM. Which LDAP client are you using?
Another useful search with a blank base DN is for namingContexts,
eg:
ldapsearch -x -b '' -s base namingContexts
