You're probably correct. If you set SPOPS->DEBUG to 1 and watch your
error log, the fetch_object() method of SPOPS::Iterator::DBI should let
you know when it catches a security exception.

You can check your theory by removing SPOPS::Secure from the 'isa'
property in the spops.perl file, restarting the server and re-running
the search. However, removing security is probably not a permanent
option for you.

Ah, good question. Currently, you can't without hacking it yourself.
However, I just committed to CVS a change to OpenInteract::CommonHandler
which allows you to define something like:

 sub MY_SEARCH_ADDITIONAL_PARAMETERS {
     return { skip_security => 1 }
 }

This will be in the next version of OI.
