Can I remove the links to the various search results pages and just show 'previous'..

[KB]

Can I remove the links to the various search results pages and just show 'previous' and 'next' as it looks bad when a search brings up a large number of results?

A search can sometimes bring about a large number of results and will display links to each page of results (depending on how many items you are showing per page, for example:




To remove the links to each page and just leave the 'Previous' and 'Next' links, do the following:

* browse to your site folder and locate the 'SearchScript.pl' file
* open the file in a text editor such as notepad
* search for:

# enumerate the result pages

* you should see:

for ($nPage = 0; $nPage < $nMaxPageCount; $nPage++) # enumerate the result pages
{
$sPageLabel = ($nPage * $nResultsLimit + 1) . '-' . ((($nPage + 1) * $nResultsLimit) > ($#Results + 1) ? $#Results + 1 : ($nPage + 1) * $nResultsLimit);
$sLink = $sScript . "&PN=" . $nPage;
$sLink = sprintf($sLinkFormat, $sLink);
if ($nPage == $nPageNumber) # the current page
{
$sContinue .= " " . $sPageLabel; # add the page number (no link)
}
else # anything other than the current page
{
$sContinue .= " " . $sLink . $sPageLabel . "</A>"; # add the page link
}
}

* replace this with:

#for ($nPage = 0; $nPage < $nMaxPageCount; $nPage++) # enumerate the result pages
# {
# $sPageLabel = ($nPage * $nResultsLimit + 1) . '-' . ((($nPage + 1) * $nResultsLimit) > ($#Results + 1) ? $#Results + 1 : ($nPage + 1) * $nResultsLimit);
# $sLink = $sScript . "&PN=" . $nPage;
# $sLink = sprintf($sLinkFormat, $sLink);
# if ($nPage == $nPageNumber) # the current page
# {
# $sContinue .= " " . $sPageLabel; # add the page number (no link)
# }
# else # anything other than the current page
# {
# $sContinue .= " " . $sLink . $sPageLabel . "</A>"; # add the page link
# }
# }

* save and close the file and update the site.
