Using the search function for pagination will carry out unnecessary index search when you are going previous or next. Generally, most of the information need (e.g 80%) can be satisfied by the first 100 documents (20%). In lucene, the returing documents is set to 100 for the sake of speed.
I am not quite sure my way of pagination is best: but it works fine under test preasure: Just keep the first search result in cache and fetch the snippet when the document is presented in current page. 2007/12/26, Dragon Fly <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > > > Any advice on this?
