Allow user to select page size for smart search results

Tracey Penberthy asked on April 26, 2017 17:26

How do I create a control that allows a user to select the page size of smart search results (e.g. a drop down with 10, 15, 50.. etc in that when selected changes the smart search results PageSize value).

I though a filter would do this but I can't work out how.

Many Thanks

Tracey

If you open configuration dialog for Smart Search Results web part you'll find pager settings and pager design sections there. This where I'd recommend to setup paging.

Thanks Roman

But I was wondering if there is a control you can add to the page that would allow the person viewing the page to change the page size (i.e. the visitor to the website rather than the editor of the website)

You could add a drop down with page sizes and make it auto postback with adding query string parameter (e.g. ?pagesize=10) and use query macro {%pagesize%} in search results settings for page size.
