Was just curious. Been doing a substantial amount of research into improving fulltext searching. We’re busy with a search engine at the moment that will be putting it all to the test.

There’s no ordering of the results by the quality of the match, so pagination isn’t based on result quality. All matches are treated equally.

For the pagination, I have a internal parameter for the number of results per page, and I just use a pretty standard quotient / remainder division to split the results into the correct number of pages. I then use the results of that calculation to output the correct rows of the search results on each page.

just curious as to how you went about calculating the result pagination after executing a fulltext search?
