Paging through Search Results in Primo VE
To provide accessibility and enable researchers to track results on a per page basis, paging enables you to load more results and access specific pages within the results. In addition to selecting a specific page of results, you can set the number of results to display per page.
Navigation Controls
The number of results per page is determined by the Results Per Page setting, which is retained for all searches during the session and, for signed-in users, between sessions. Users can select either a specific page, the < icon to display the previous page, or the > icon to display the next page.
The Results Per Page selector can be found at the top and bottom of the list of results on each page; the page selector is located below the list of results:
Limitations on Guest Access to Results
Unfortunately, it is necessary to protect the system from automated attacks that manipulate the search-result navigation, creating excessive and unnecessary system load and causing stability issues.
In order to protect the system from attacks of this sort while still allowing legitimate users to continue browsing search results, guest users can only access the first 500 results in the results list. When a guest user attempts to navigate to a page in which results beyond 500 would be displayed, they are prompted to sign into Primo VE.
If you sign in, one of the following happens:
- If the institution uses reCaptcha, the next page is displayed.
- If the institution does not use reCaptcha, the results are displayed from page 1.
In either case, you can continue to view results without any limitations.
If you do not sign in, the last page of results is still displayed, with a notification at the top indicating that no further results can be displayed unless you sign in.
