The "search any schema" switch is only intended for use with legacy
databases, where duplicate names don't occur anyway. If someone uses it
with a new schema-using database design, then he kind of ought to know
that the switch probably doesn't make a whole lot of sense. However, to
get reproduceable behaviour anyway we can just define a search order, such
as by schema name.
