[Sigia-l] Usability: Pagination for search results pages...?

[donna at maadmob.net]

I don't remember any studies, and even if I did, the results would be 
specific to the type of information, the sorting of the results and all of 
the minute details in the interface...

Personally
- The first is OK (I usually step through results), 
- the second is useful if I'm repeating a search and I know the result is 
on a particular page (there is something at work that I often search for 
and the result is always on page 4, and I have to step through next, 
next, next)
- the third is fabulous for content sorted in alpha order, and could be 
expanded to different methods for other sequences
