           If p_searchName is specified, it corresponds to:
             1) a search defined on p_className: additional search criteria
                will be added to the query, or;
             2) "customSearch": in this case, additional search criteria will
                also be added to the query, but those criteria come from the
                session (in key "searchCriteria") and were created from
                search.pt.

           We will retrieve objects from p_startNumber. If p_search is defined,
           it corresponds to a custom Search instance (instead of a predefined
           named search like in p_searchName). If both p_searchName and p_search
           are given, p_search is ignored.

           This method returns a list of objects in the form of the
           __dict__ attribute of an instance of SomeObjects (see in
           appy.gen.utils). We return the __dict__ attribute instead of real
           instance: that way, it can be used in ZPTs without security problems.
           If p_brainsOnly is True, it returns a list of brains instead (can be
           useful for some usages like knowing the number of objects without
           needing to get information about them). If no p_maxResults is
           specified, the method returns maximum
           self.numberOfResultsPerPage. The method returns all objects if
           p_maxResults equals string "NO_LIMIT".

           If p_noSecurity is True, it gets all the objects, even those that the
           currently logged user can't see.

           The result is sorted according to the potential sort key defined in
           the Search instance (Search.sortBy, together with Search.sortOrder).
           But if parameter p_sortBy is given, it defines or overrides the sort.
           In this case, p_sortOrder gives the order (*asc*ending or
           *desc*ending).

           If p_filterKey is given, it represents an additional search parameter
           to take into account: the corresponding search value is in
           p_filterValue.

           If p_refObject and p_refField are given, the query is limited to the
