you are right, i meant not a new ORDER BY RAND() query on every result- page. example: results on page 1 will change when i change the page to 2 and then back to 1 again. that's not what i want. > > > i thought about doing the data-fetching myself (andextendif there > > are to less results) and give it to the pagination manually, is this > > possible? > > What do you mean by "doing the data-fetching myself " and "manually"? what i want to do: 1) search for the users string myself 2) if result-count < X, then add some random results. 3) use this resultset (real results + applicable random results) and do pagination with exactly this result-set. (not doing a RAND()-query on every page-change.) do you know what i mean? greets, thank you --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "CakePHP" group.
