for the search, but not when searching subordinates of the base object.
Change this by specifying Deref with one of the
following case-sensitive values:
neverDo not dereference aliases in searching
or in locating the base object of the search.
searchDereference aliases in subordinates of
the base object in searching, but not in locating the base object of
the search.
findDereference aliases in locating the base
object of the search, but not when searching subordinates of the base
object. This is the default.
alwaysDereference aliases both in searching
and in locating the base object of the search.

Usually, there is no need to use this
parameter.
