To add to what Jens said, you may find this code useful:
In your model:
def self.search(q, options = {})
return nil if q.nil?
default_options = {:limit => 10, :page => 1}
options = default_options.merge options
options[:offset] = options[:limit] * (options[:page].to_i-1)
... snip ...
num = INDEX.search_each(query, {:num_docs => options[:limit],
:first_doc => options[:offset]}) do |doc, score|
... snip ...
[num, results]
end
Notice that I return the total matches as num, plus the results. The
total matches is necessary to generate a paginator across all the
items.
For the pagination, I created this simple method in my application
controller (note it assumes a params[:page] being passed around):
def pages_for(size, options = {})
default_options = {:per_page => 10}
options = default_options.merge options
pages = Paginator.new self, size, options[:per_page], (params[:page]||1)
pages
end
And lastly, to use it in a controller:
@total, @results = YourModel.search(@query, :page => (params[:page]||1)
@result_pages = pages_for(@total)
