Don't forget about the case in which people are scanning a list or grid, but after scanning down to the bottom, they decide to go back and review items higher up in the list.
In this case - which I have seen play out many times in utesting of web-based apps - doubling up the pagination and sorting controls at top and bottom is the right design decision. - - - - - - - Paul Sherman, Principal, ShermanUX User Experience Research | Design | Strategy p...@shermanux.com www.ShermanUX.com +1.512.917.1942 - - - - - - - On Dec 31, 2009, at 11:43 AM, Michael Caskey wrote: Can I get some thoughts on pagination at the top of search results? I haven't done any research around it, but my opinion this morning is that pagination should only be at the bottom of the results set, especially when the results set is taller than the viewport. The context of pagination, in my mind, is only relevant when you've reached the end of the results currently shown, and you want to see more. Also, I think they clutter the space between the search box and the results. Am I missing something?
