You should explicitly add the other search arguments to search() that your ldapsearch command-line program is implicitly adding. One obvious one is the search filter - something like "(objectclass=*)" is common.

If that doesn't make a difference you will have to do some investigating and work out what your command-line program is actually sending. Maybe it has debug modes which will help; maybe your server's logs have useful info?
