DOOOODES!
This parameter is session modifiable. 

To wit:

SVRMGR> alter session set optimizer_search_limit=400;
ORA-00068: invalid value 400 for parameter optimizer_search_limit, must be
between 3 and 255

So, 

IF  (you='heavily certified') 
        THEN  (wave OCP pigskin over dbms, wait for result)
ELSIF (you='DIY type')
        THEN  (well....DIY)
ENDIF;
