page number display error in webinator 6.10 search script?

Post by rjshelq »

Using the search.vs script provided with Webinator 6.1.0 ($Id: search4.src,v 2.814 2011/12/21 22:09:22 jason Exp $), if a search returns more than 200 results, the first several pages of search results show search page numbers which cannot be accessed.

For example, when set to show 50 results per page, if I do a search which indicates that there are 270 results, the first page of results shows that result pages numbered 1 through 6 are available. But if I click on the "5" or the "6" or try to use the "next" link to get to page 5 or 6, I get an empty page saying "No more documents match the query."

Admittedly this is not too serious, but it is somewhat confusing for users.

Is there a fix for this problem?

The "Ranked Rows" setting provides an upper cap for the number of results that are sorted and returned, as the further results take more computation.

You can increase Ranked Rows on Search settings to allow traversing beyond the 200th result.

I'd thought the pagination was smart about not providing links to result pages that won't be viewable due to ranked rows, we'll look into this behavior.
