How to do pagination in search results? There is option results=“20” for example, but that is in search form.

Does anyone have sample of basic working search results WITH pagination. If I put pagination inside search results tag, that tag is not processed at all, if I put it outside, obviously it is not working :D

In docs there is no example I can find with pagination, and in “search results” there is no mention about that also.

Have you tried the example from the docs? It has pagination, too. What version and build of EE are you using?

I tried adding pagination to search results a while back, but also couldn’t get it to work. This is the simple search code that works:

<h1>Search Results</h1>
        
Here are the results of your blog search:
{exp:search:search_results}
  <div class="entries">
  <h2><a href="http://{title_permalink=">{title}</a></h2>
<p>  {blog-post-intro}<br />
  </div><br />
{/exp:search:search_results}

Adding this after it had no effect:

{if paginate}
  <div class='paginate'>
  <span class='pagecount'>{page_count}</span>  {paginate}
  </div>
{/if}

So I was trying to figure out what determines “if paginate” is true or not. The docs don’t seem to mention that. I tried adding things to {exp:search:search_results} like

{exp:search:search_results limit="20"}

and

{exp:search:search_results paginate="20"}

and

{exp:search:search_results paginate="on"}

... but never got it working.

Hi, ralph.m.

You set the value this way:

{exp:search:simple_form channel="news" result_page="search/results" no_result_page="search/no_results" search_in="everywhere" results="1"}

In the simple search form itself.

Does that help?

Does that help?

O yeah! So easy when you know how. Thanks very much for explaining it Sue. Works a charm now.

Woot! Crnaovca, where are you with this?
