             Bug #: 34384
           Summary: Ability to specify default value for Semantic Search
                    "further results" page.
           Product: MediaWiki extensions
           Version: any
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: Unprioritized
         Component: Semantic MediaWiki
        AssignedTo: [email protected]
        ReportedBy: [email protected]
                CC: [email protected], [email protected]
    Classification: Unclassified


When using the #ask parser function, one can specify the limit parameter. This
parameter defines how many results to display. If the number of actual results
exceeds this value, a link appears called "further results". One can click this
link and see the "semantic Search" page, with a listing of all the results.

This "further results" page receives the limit parameter from the initial #ask
query, and the results on the "Semantic Search" page are also limited by this
value. To view more per page, the user is required to select a value at the top
of the page, like 100 or 500.

A valuable enhancement would be the ability to specify two limit values: one
for the initial display, and one for the "further results" page. This way, the
user isn't required to make an extra click; the administrator can set the
default value to a large number, while keeping the initial #ask query limited.

In some situations where the number of results is large, it can be preferable
to display a very limited amount of them on the page of the #ask query, but
display all of them at once on the "further results" page. In this situation it
is a better experience for the user to not have to look for the "# to display
per page" values, and simply be presented with all the results.
