Hi,

The way how it do this is with 3 steps

• Create a class that handles all the search params, stores a list of results, stores page and total result information.

 public class JobSearch
 {
        //search fields
         public List<int> IndustryIds { get; set; }
         public int? LocationId { get; set; }
         public int? WorkTypeId { get; set; }

         //return fields
         public List<Job> Jobs { get; set; }
         public int TotalPages { get; set; }
         public int TotalItems { get; set; }
         public int ItemsPerPage { get; set; }
         public string OrderBy { get; set; }
         public string OrderByDescending { get; set; }
  }

• Next is use Examine to run a search. And return the JobSearch object containing the paged results back to the frontend. Very simple example...

public static JobSearch SearchJobs(JobSearch jobSearch)
{
       var searcher = Examine.ExamineManager.Instance.SearchProviderCollection["JobSearcher"];
       var criteria = searcher.CreateSearchCriteria();
       criteria = GetJobSearchCriteria(criteria, jobSearch);
       int skip = (jobSearch.CurrentPage * jobSearch.ItemsPerPage) - jobSearch.ItemsPerPage;
       List<Examine.SearchResult> searchResults = searcher.Search(criteria).ToList();
       jobSearch.Jobs = (from x in searchResults select new Job(new Node(x.Id), true)).Skip(skip).Take(jobSearch.ItemsPerPage).ToList();
       jobSearch.TotalItems = searchResults.Count();
       jobSearch.TotalPages = (jobSearch.TotalItems + jobSearch.ItemsPerPage - 1) / jobSearch.ItemsPerPage;
       return jobSearch;
 }

• Finally I use a jquery plugin to display the paging

<script src="~/Frontend/Scripts/Libs/simplePagination/jquery.simplePagination.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script>
  $(function () {
      $('.pager-control').pagination({
          items: @jobSearch.TotalItems,
          itemsOnPage: @jobSearch.ItemsPerPage,
          displayedPages: 6,
          edges:0,
          onPageClick: function (pageNumber, event) {
              //I think I can probably overide the location change and render some ajax content
          },
      });
  });
</script>

Hope this helps
