Re: matches displayed per page

["Golda Velez" <golda@iwhome.com>]

Hi Jonathan - actually there is a module that limits exactly this and also caches the search results, but its part of the commercial version.  Its the ResultCache.pm module.  You could hack something directly but its a bit of work - if you're willing to do that much work I'll give you something much easier and swap for the ResultCache module ;-)  Even some docs for version 2.X - I've been quite a bit behind writing up nice docs, since I like to work on the code better - if you'd write some install instructions I'll be happy to give you the commercial modules in exchange. (And that offer goes for anyone else on the list too!)

If you're determined to do your own caching module I can give you some pointers, you have to write glines to a temp file and then pass extra information to access the Nth set of hits.  But its not a 1-line hack...

Regards,
