It's not a bad idea, though the question relates to using icons on searches
with many, many pages. So if you're generating more than 10 of them on
every page, I could see it being a slowdown. Of course you can always use
GD or something else to make your icons as you wish and store them.
Personally, I prefer to remove the icons entirely and just use text
numerals to all the pages. It's much lower bandwidth and saves screen
space. :-)
I'd look at:
http://www.htdig.org/attrs.html#matches_per_page and
http://www.htdig.org/attrs.html#maximum_pages
(In answer to the original question, I doubt we'll be providing more icons
in the default distribution. However, a new "Contributed" section of the
website will be opening soon so people can swap graphics, example config
files, documentation, scripts, you name it. :-)
