Is there a way to find the total of the search results ? #1

I tried search.length but it returns only the number of the current page results, and not the total. thanks.

pager.total has the number of pages. Not quite the same thing as the total number of results. It would be a very simple pull request to make that information available in req.extras though. You'd do it right where setPagerTotal gets called.

(# of pages = # of pages of search results)

Hmm I see, is there a way to declare how many resulsts to show per page ? if not, how can I pull all the search results ? and not just the results per page ?

thanks

We paginate search results so that we can fetch associated images, etc. without an unpleasant amount of overhead (i.e. slow search results pages). Most people find what they want on page one or not at all.

If you don't like the pagination though, you could introduce infinite scroll without changing the server side at all. Check out the way we do this in the default index.html template for the blog module.
