    * then be used. $base is either a DN-string or an Net_LDAP2_Entry
    * object in which case its DN willb e used.
    *
    * Params may contain:
    *
    * scope: The scope which will be used for searching
    *        base - Just one entry
    *        sub  - The whole tree
    *        one  - Immediately below $base
    * sizelimit: Limit the number of entries returned (default: 0 = unlimited),
    * timelimit: Limit the time spent for searching (default: 0 = unlimited),
    * attrsonly: If true, the search will only return the attribute names,
    * attributes: Array of attribute names, which the entry should contain.
    *             It is good practice to limit this to just the ones you need.
    * [NOT IMPLEMENTED]
    * deref: By default aliases are dereferenced to locate the base object for the search, but not when
    *        searching subordinates of the base object. This may be changed by specifying one of the
    *        following values:
    *
    *        never  - Do not dereference aliases in searching or in locating the base object of the search.
    *        search - Dereference aliases in subordinates of the base object in searching, but not in
    *                locating the base object of the search.
    *        find
    *        always
    *
    * Please note, that you cannot override server side limitations to sizelimit
    * and timelimit: You can always only lower a given limit.
