* Search result identifier
* A reference of the Net_LDAP object for passing to Net_LDAP_Entry
* Result entry identifier
* The errorcode the search got
* Some errorcodes might be of interest, but might not be best handled as errors.
* examples: 4 - LDAP_SIZELIMIT_EXCEEDED - indicates a huge search.
* Incomplete results are returned. If you just want to check if there's anything in the search.
* than this is a point to handle.
* 32 - no such object - search here returns a count of 0.
var $_errorCode = 0; // if not set - sucess!
* What attributes we searched for
* The $attributes array contains the names of the searched attributes and gets
* passed from $Net_LDAP->search() so the Net_LDAP_Search object can tell
* what attributes was searched for ({@link _searchedAttrs())}
* This variable gets set from the constructor and returned
* from {@link _searchedAttrs()}
var $_searchedAttrs = array ();
* Cache variable for storing entries fetched internally
* This currently is only used by {@link pop_entry()}
var $_entry_cache = false;
* @param resource &$search Search result identifier
* @param Net_LDAP|resource&$ldap Net_LDAP object or just a LDAP-Link resource
* @param array $attributes (optional) Array with searched attribute names. (see {@link $_searchedAttrs})

* @return array Array of entry objects.
* Get the next entry in the searchresult.
* This will return a valid Net_LDAP_Entry object or false, so

* Alias function of shiftEntry() for perl-ldap interface
* Retrieve the next entry in the searchresult, but starting from last entry
* This is the opposite to {@link shiftEntry()} and is also very useful
* to be used inside a while loop.

* Return entries sorted as array
* This returns a array with sorted entries and the values.
* Sorting is done with PHPs {@link array_multisort()}.
* This method relies on {@link as_struct()} to fetch the raw data of the entries.
* Please note that attribute names are case sensitive!
* // to sort entries first by location, then by surename, but descending:
* $entries = $search->sorted_as_struct(array('locality','sn'), SORT_DESC);
* @param array $attrs Array of attribute names to sort; order from left to right.
* @param int $order Ordering direction, either constant SORT_ASC or SORT_DESC
* @return array|Net_LDAP_Error Array with sorted entries or error
* Old Code, suitable and fast for single valued sorting
* This code should be used if we know that single valued sorting is desired,
* but we need some method to get that knowledge...
