You can change the number of results per page in the search results that are generated by the Search block.  Imagine you want 18 results per page: 

  1. Create a custom controller, by copying the file \concrete\blocks\search\controller.php to \application\blocks\search\controller.php
  2. Update the namespace at the top.  Change it from namespace Concrete\Block\Search; to namespace Application\Block\Search;
  3. Find this line: $pagination = $ipl->getPagination();
  4. After it add a new line with: $pagination->setMaxPerPage(18);
  5. When you perform a search, if there are more than 18 results you will see 18 on page one of the search results.
