The paging navigation could be improved. Now we have:

Most "pagers" I've used present Prev and Next links and shift the central 10 or so pages all the time, so you get something like:
Prev 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 Next
That's just what you are used to. Having the Prev and Next next to each other means less mouse movement, and less repetitive stress injuries....
Makes sense to me. I'm not arguing :)
The way it currently works for the numbers is there's a sliding window. You just didn't look far enough, I think:
Page: 1 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 99 Previous 15 Next 15
That gives you a way to get back to page one, or to the end. If sorting by rank, that's a useless feature, since most people only look at the first page or two. But it's somewhat helpful if sorting by some other property -- then you can quickly get to the start or end.
But anyone that's getting more than a page of results probably needs to run the query again with a more refined search.
I'm used to press Next to get to the next page, and end up pressing on 'Next 15'
Yes, that's right. If you want the next page you click on the "Next 15" link.
OK, so why do we need '15' then? In any case it's broken. Search for mod_cgi and click on Next 15. First we don't have 15 pages, but only 3. Second what's Next 13 below?
Page: 1 2 3 Previous 15 Next 13
in any case 'prev' is usually expected on the left side, if 'next' is on the right :)
Ok, I think I can figure out how to move it.
Whichever way you prefer. I was just saying that most search engine that
I've seen put prev on the left side. To solve the jumping problem just
always keep 1 in the list. These are just suggestions, what we have now is ok to me.
